HIGH ROPES COURSES

After completing a series of successful low ropes challenges, participants may have the opportunity to experience a high ropes course. These courses give participants a chance to truly test their ability to deal with fear and courage. With the support of their friends, co-workers, and our caring staff; participants work  on a series of platforms, cables, and ropes, 30 feet up, to achieve their goals.

Ropes courses can be seen as the ultimate group or individual challenge. Ropes courses are vertical obstacle courses that make extensive use of safety equipment to keep participants from danger. Working with peoples' natural discomfort with heights, but using safety equipment to reduce real risk, participants are faced with a sense of "perceived" risk. When groups or individuals go up on a ropes course there is a great opportunity for them to learn about risk taking, their own perceived limits, how they take risks or perform under pressure, how they can give or receive support from other people in taking "appropriate" risk, and how working with others can help an individual to achieve more then they thought they could accomplish.

Ropes courses can be tailored for use with a wide variety of populations and to facilitate group dynamics. WOLF has built ropes courses for professional organizations who train high performance work teams, non profit development organizations, for treatment facilities, summer camps, and more. WOLF will work closely with you to develop a ropes course consisting of the appropriate activities for the groups you will be serving, and appropriate for your site.
