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 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 features obstacles that require teamwork. These are set at ground height and need a team to overcome them. Staff will brief and debrief each experience to draw out the 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's high ropes course has 11 elements, 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. Who uses the Ropes Course? Ropes courses are used by every type of group imaginable.
