Challenge Course
Activities that provide a group of campers a framework to become a stronger team. The group benefits by offering the individual a chance to develop new and enriched skills. How does this work? Participants are asked to work together to accomplish many goals. Through the process of reaching their goals, the group learns how to cooperate, problem solve, think creatively, communicate effectively, and manage conflict. As the group progresses, an attitude of care, concern, and trust for each person overpowers the need for competition and rivalry. The insights gained from the Challenge Course can be then transferred to real life situations.
