The Ropes course offers nine low elements which can
be used for numerous challenges. These activities build
problem solving skills, teamwork, conflict resolution, and other
life skills into the lives of our children. In the photo
above, the platform inside the ropes is called the TEAM TRIANGLE.
Participants stand on the platform in the middle and have to help
one another around the cables that span the three trees around it.
In the background, you can see THE WALL. This element helps to
teach that some problems you just have to face up to and overcome
them.

TRUST FALL
PLATFORM
One member of the group
climbs onto the platform, and stands at the very edge, facing
the tree.
They then fall backwards,
depending upon their team members below to catch them.
This activity takes a lot of
trust in your team, and develops a spirit of teamwork. |

It may sound simple, all you have to do is walk
the beam
What happens in life when you fall down? You
get back up! As you look at the picture above, you'll notice
that the walking beam is not more than 6 to 8 inches about the
ground, but it teaches our children that you must approach life with
balance in mind, knowing that you CAN get back up and try again to
overcome the problem that is facing you.
