The Low Ropes Challenge Course is a series of problem-solving experiences that physically engage teams to develop and execute a plan. Each challenge draws on every team member’s contributions—their ideas, their support, and their efforts. The low ropes course is characterized by its ability to create the need for group members to challenge their old ways of thinking and acting. Group members faced with challenging problems are required to take risks, talk, and share responsibility for a successful effort.
The goal of the low ropes elements is to have participants unite and learn the meaning of cooperation, and discover that through cooperation they can accomplish much more than they would have previously thought possible.
