TEAM Challenge Ropes Course
|
A wise man once said "you can not have quality time, without quantity time!" An experience on the Oswegatchie ropes course can give you both.
Oswegatchie has countless "initiatives" that focus groups on ice breaking, team building, communication, trust, and cooperation. Much like games, these initiatives are fun, active, and will get a group laughing and thinking about their shared experience. A sign that an experience is going well is plenty of laughter! Our low ropes course gives groups obstacles to overcome where team work is essential. These are set at ground height and need a team to over come them. Staff will brief and debrief each experience in order to draw out desired lessons! A high ropes experience is a great way to end the day. It involves putting on a harness and working through challenges set 40 feet in the air. Oswegatchie has 11 elements in our high ropes course, which is more than any group can experience in one day. Each high element has different strengths, such as our Giant Swing, which is perfect for group cohesiveness. The Vertical Playpen is great for 2 person teams. The Zipline is ideal for individual accomplishment. Click here to see program options for a day on our ropes course. Who uses the Ropes Course?
