Our Ropes Course is very extensive, and most groups do not complete the entire course in one day. A typical session on the either the Low or High Ropes Course is three hours, although this time can be adjusted to fit your group's needs. Many groups find that one session of Low Ropes in the morning followed by one session of High Ropes in the afternoon makes for a fun, challenging day. Back to the Top Q: What are the age limits for the Ropes Course? A: The High Ropes Course is recommended for ages 12 and up. The Low Ropes Course and the Indoor Course (both Low and High) work great for elementary school age children to adults. Back to the Top Q: How many people can we bring at one time? A: An ideal group size is 12-20. We can accomodate groups larger than 20 by dividing into two smaller groups. Groups with fewer than 12 participants do well on High Ropes (both indoor and outdoor), but the Low Ropes activities often require more people. Back to the Top Q: Is the Ropes Course safe? A: Yes. We use spotting techniques for Low Ropes activities and a modern belay system for all High Ropes activities. Our Course is thoroughly inspected every year by an independent, qualified professional and visually inspected by our staff before each use.

He has over 10 years of Ropes Course experience and has been certified by Adventure Experiences, Inc. All facilitators are thoroughly trained in Challenge Course proficiency.
