Three more ways to experience the challenge

With the construction dust just settling, we are very excited to unveil three new high activities for our Challenge Course!

When planning the new addition, we had two primary goals. First, we wanted activities that would require dependence upon a partner while solving the challenge. Second, we wanted to increase the overall challenge level of our high ropes program. From the looks of it, we have succeeded on both counts.

The first activity is called teamwork trolleys. Partners must work cooperatively to move the tethered trolleys across 60-feet of cable. Did we mention there's no upper body support?

After a short breather, prepare to take on the another 60-foot challenge as you and your partner move from swinging platform to swinging tire to swinging platform...well...you get the idea. It's a workout!

The grand finale of the 2007 expansion project is a pamper jump. Don a full-body harness and see if you have the mettle to jump and catch a hanging trapeze...10-feet away!

We're excited to share these new activities with you and your team. Come spend some time on the Challenge Course soon.
