Take Your Team to New Heights

Build Connections

Challenge course participation teaches teams to work together and allows members to learn each others' strengths, improving communication and collaboration. 

Practice Creative Problem-Solving

The challenges at Stowe Heights require creative thinking and problem-solving skills. Teams will learn to look at obstacles in new ways and brainstorm creative solutions. 

Enjoy a Fun Outing

Stowe Heights is tucked away in a wooded area near the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Teams can enjoy nature and the fun of being outside while experiencing a program tailored to their goals. 

All while helping Iowa youth thrive.

Participating in Stowe Heights as an adult or corporate group doesn't just benefit your team: proceeds from Stowe Heights support Community Youth Concepts (CYC). CYC is a Des Moines-based nonprofit on a mission to engage and connect Iowa students through youth development programming and to provide coaching, training, and technical assistance in best practices to youth-serving non-profits.

To learn more about CYC's youth programming and how your participation in SHCC gives Iowa youth the tools they need for success in work, school, and life, you can visit our website. 

How It Works

Our Stowe Heights facilitators are experts at crafting programs to the specific needs and preferences of your team. We will work with you to determine which type of experience is best suited to your goals. 

High Course

Our high course is for teams looking for a fun and unique outing. We start on the ground, learning teamwork, communication, and creative problem-solving skills. Then, your team will gear up and work together to navigate the high ropes course. 

Low Course

The low course is a great way to get your team outside and enjoying nature. You will work together to solve unusual challenges, learning to communicate and getting to know each other's strengths.

Portable Workshop

Let us bring the fun to you! Our portable workshops are custom tailored to your teams needs and goals, and can be facilitated at a location of your choosing. Portables are a great option for larger (60+) groups, teams working with a tighter budget, and anyone looking for a more flexible experience.

Testimonial: "We have been using the ropes course and portable challenge for the past 8 years to help develop relationships among our incoming 6th grader. Through the experience,  our students are able to build off a common experience to make their transition much smoother.
