Challenge Course
Challenge Course Activities Provided by Upward Enterprises
A challenge course is a series of individual and group activities designed to foster team-building, group cohesion, cooperation, leadership, problem-solving skills, communication skills, healthy risk-taking, and individual commitment. Constructed of wood, cable and rope, each challenge course can be built in either an urban setting, such as a gymnasium or playing field, or a more natural setting such as a wooded area. Elements can be built into either treated poles or trees, and different activities can be built at heights varying from 18" to 50' above the ground.
We believe in the power of the group, and of the community in assisting individuals to actualize their potential on all levels. The challenge course program is an experience-based tool through which this outcome may be achieved. The experiential model is effective because it engages individuals in an active, dynamic learning process that allows for immediate feedback and opportunity for change, as opposed to traditional didactic (lecture) models that are passive and rarely maximize the learning curve. A challenge course is dynamic, exciting, and fun!
