The unforgettable experience of the high ropes course creates an atmosphere of excitement to test your mettle and a safe place to try something new with the support of your work team. Participants appreciate the opportunity to interact with their teammates in a very different and powerful way.
Risk is managed by group members who assume critical spotting roles. Examples include: Swinging Balance Beam, Triangle Traverse, Tire Swings, and Mohawk Walk. Ropes course advocates claim that they meet a number of educational, developmental, and recreational goals.
In order to climb up onto the course participants usually must climb, such as by using a cargo net or Jacob's Ladder, which could be made of rope, or an artificial climbing wall .

You’ll be swinging on a fixed point rope hung 30 feet above the ground. Using your hand and upper body strength, grab the rope and hold on tight, while taking a leap of faith across. Focusing on your exit point and throwing yourself at the target are key to sticking the landing.
Dexterity/Control and balance We have lots of open spaces and self-led activities that are great for developing dexterity, control and balance.

Aerial adventure parks, also known as high ropes courses, are combinations of cables and wooden activities suspended high in the air, containing obstacles of varying intensities.
Low Ropes. Low Ropes challenge students to overcome obstacles and solve problems as a team. They must work together in small groups to achieve goals while learning communication skills, patience, innovative thinking, and problem solving techniques.
Wild Woozy: Cables are installed between three trees in a narrow “V” about 12” from the ground. The objective is for two people, each on a separate cable, starting at the narrow end of the "V", to stand facing each other. They must support each other as they walk towards the wide end of the “V” without falling.
Participants who are thinking are involved and invested throughout the course of their challenge.
