Individual Challenge Elements
Individual challenge elements provide fun and challenging opportunities for participants to stretch their comfort zones, set goals, achieve success all while increasing their physical literacy.
Participants learn important skills in trustworthiness and responsibility as they spot one another in these supervised low activities.
Individual low elements may be built in trees (site dependent) or poles. Elements can be installed together to create a continuous course or may be installed as stand-alone elements.
Team Initiative Challenges
Team Initiative Challenges provide the team building and leadership development opportunities so often associated with ropes courses.
Our Team Initiative Challenges are designed to provide opportunities for groups to work together to achieve common goals. Participants develop skills in communication, problem solving, decision making, and goal setting.
These elements can be installed as part of a cluster or be built as stand-alone elements.
Portable Elements
Portable elements and activities are ideal for classrooms, after-school programs, community centres, camps, and human service organizations that deliver adventure learning programs indoors, in green spaces, or in multiple locations.
After the activity is done, the equipment can be stored neatly in a closet or shed. Portable elements and activities are built to withstand lots of use, can be transported easily, and are a great complement to permanent facilities.
