What
is a ropes course? It is a series of obstacles constructed of
various types of materials to provide challenges to the individual
or group. Participants work their way up through low course elements
(up to 3 feet off the ground) and progress on to the high course
elements (20-85 feet in the air.) Through the use of team support
systems and state of the art rock climbing equipment, the course
is able to provide a controlled situation where actual risk is
practically non-existent. The perception of risk is the catalyst
for individuals and groups to benefit from by expanding their
comfort zones, team problem solving, and overcoming natural fears.
Team
building (Low element course)
|
Ever
been put through the hoops? Forced to walk the plank? Made
to work with others? These are real experiences that everyone
has dealt with at one time or another. During the team building
activities, you will learn that it takes all of the participants'
cooperation to succeed. These activities are designed to utilize
each person's talents and abilities as well as recognize effective
modes of communication and cooperation, thereby fostering
the ideals of trust, support, and responsibility. |
In
the Trees! (High element course)
|
The
air is a little thinner up there! Some elements are built
to encourage the team-building / problem solving progression
by using more than one rope system so that multiple participants
must work together to accomplish their goals. Other elements
are simply made for the individual's peak experience. APEX
Adventures engages the group as a team by involving participants
as belayers, spotters, and of course, the ever-helpful encouragement
team. |
Challenge by Choice (Failure-free focus)
|
While
on the course we like to employ the concept of cooperative,
non-competitive fun. APEX Adventures ropes courses are "failure-free."
Participation is determined by each participant's unique abilities
and capabilities. We respect the decision of a participant
not to attempt an element and will provide other ways for
that person to be involved in each activity. The idea of the
course is to challenge participants while maximizing their
FUN! |
