Ropes Courses and Challenges Provided by Upward Enterprises

Upward Enterprises Ropes Courses Sites
Upward Enterprises, Inc. currently owns and operates three Ropes Courses. Two are located in Maryland at Butler Montessori School in Darnestown, and Smokey Glen Farm in Gaithersburg. We also have a Virginia site at The Pavilions of Turkey Run in McLean. All ropes courses include two distinct sections; a set of low ropes challenges and a set of high ropes challenges. Both offer exciting and educational opportunities for individuals and groups to explore and challenge themselves. Contact our offices to see which of our sites will best fit your needs and desired outcomes!

Ropes Courses - Portable Challenge - Many groups want to have a ropes courses experience, but are limited to holding the event at their facility. Upward Enterprises, Inc. offers a variety of portable challenge course elements, which can be brought to your site. Many of these portable challenges are even office-compatible! UEI offers half-day and full-day portable challenge course programs to help bring the adventure to you!
