The Challenge Course is an adventure recreation program, which offers participants the opportunity to engage in a series of activities involving mental, physical and emotional risk-taking. It consists of problem-solving activities, games, initiatives and a series of ropes, cables, and logs used to simulate challenges. Team building activities are available and  participants may choose to progress beyond these activities, challenging themselves to progress from the low to the high elements of the course. The course involves planned sessions in which participants examine and share common reactions, insights and emotions such as joy, fear, fatigue and compassion. In the Challenge Course setting, participants can explore solutions in a non-threatening manner.  All activities are challenge by/of choice.  This means that participants are never forced to participate in any part of the challenge course. They are, however, encouraged to challenge themselves beyond what they would normally do.
