Overview
Challenge is at the core
of this adventure experience. Whether working together through
a problem solving initiative like the Spider's Web, performing
a balancing act with your partner on the Wild Woosy, or taking
an exhilarating ride down the Zip Line, you will be sure to enjoy
the many exciting activities the Triple-R Challenge Course has
to offer.
Triple-R's Challenge Course is
a series of individual and group activities that require a combination
of teamwork skills and individual commitment. Constructed of
cable, rope and wood, the course is built in the trees and is
designed to be effectively used in reaching the following goals:
- To increase mutual support within
a group.
- To develop abilities which contribute
to decision making and leadership
- To develop relationships of
honesty and healthy communication.
- To focus on the importance of
being a trustworthy, reliable individual.
Above all, it
is our desire to make the Challenge course experience fun and
enjoyable. No one is ever forced to participate in an activity
with which they are not comfortable. We concentrate on being
others oriented, developing responsibility, dependibility and
trustworthiness.
Program
Field Events
Prior
to actual activity on the physical elements of the course, groups
spend time involved in activities such as games, warm up exercises,
and initiatives. The field events serve to familiarize the instructor
with the group, develop camaraderie, initiate cooperation ,and
prepare participants for spotting (safety) exercises.
Low Elements
The
low course elements are characterized by group participation,
problem solving, and activities which build group unity, cooperation,
and communication while also challenging balance and physical
coordination. Groups are presented with a series of challenges
in which members must be decisive and collective in their efforts
to accomplish the goal.
High Elements
The
high course elements give an ultimate feeling of accomplishment
as participants make their way across steel cables, ropes, and
beams through a series of events ranging from 15-43 feet high.
Participants are on safety systems the entire time as they face
and overcome fears, testing their ability to commit and strive
for the ultimate goal, the Zip Line! Debriefing discussion concentrates
on commitment, overcoming fear, trust in God, and the value of
encouraging one another.
Safety
Well trained staff and
careful programming assure that safety is first. Proper spotting
and safety techniques are utilized and group members become part
of the safety team which serves to develop support, communication,
and accountability. All high course elements are conducted with
properly tested harnesses, helmets, and belay ropes. The instructors
have all received training, are knowledgeable in safety procedures,
and will give careful instruction in equipment to all participants.
