WHAT IS A CHALLENGE COURSE?
A challenge course is a combination of mental and physical challenges requiring groups to work as a team to accomplish goals. Through a series of fun and unusual activities, participants learn valuable information about themselves, each other, and the group as a unit. By removing people from their usual environment and placing them in a new, unique setting, a challenge course experience fosters shared learning, openness, and cooperation.
Low elements take place on the ground or up to 3' above the ground. High elements are usually constructed on utility poles up to 40' above the ground and requires harnesses and additional safety equipment.
Course Details
The Stowe Heights Challenge Course is structured to serve participants 10 yrs and older. Programming is tailored to meet the unique needs and objectives of each group. Examples of groups Stowe Heights has worked with include school groups, youth and adult leadership groups, religious organizations, sports teams, medical teams and businesses. Any group that enjoys a change of scenery and the opportunity to build relationships, build their creativity, explore aspects of communication and understanding or be inspired by each other's strengths are likely to benefit from a day at Stowe Heights.
