All challenges are near the ground to reduce risk and stress on the participants. We have done programming for all ages! Great for business outings and student groups looking to build teamwork.

FAQ
Anyone 10 years or older. Our group minimum is 10 people.
All low ropes course elements are at most 2 feet off the ground. Most elements can be modified or made more challenging to accommodate every group.
We begin the day all together with an introduction and ice breaker activity. We then move on to “Althouse Island” where we need to rescue Jimmy the Bear. You will be asked to overcome several challenges before entering the ropes course where you will need to get over the Peanut Butter Swamp and Alligator Alley before getting yourselves and Jimmy on our “boat” for a safe trip home. The entire program will provide unexpected surprises, lots of laughs, and a great adventure. Challenges are tailored to your group’s abilities so that everyone can enjoy the experience.
We are dedicated to the safety of everyone on our course. We begin by teaching the proper spotting technique and do not move onto the course until we are sure the group is ready. Also, everyone climbing is required to wear a helmet and a trained guide will be leading the group at all times on the course.
Please wear comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather and sneakers.
All you need is a water bottle and a good attitude!
