Details:

Our event is focused on peer-to-peer communication. How to read body language, make eye contact, problem solve with a group, identify how decisions are made, explore different leadership styles, how their individual leadership style affects a group, understand and face fears, and examine various techniques of communication. 

Students will learn that fear is an emotion that you can learn how to control. Risk taking is a healthy essential part of the learning process. Physical safety and emotional safety take precedence over all individual and program goals. By working with and supporting others in challenging situations, individuals develop leadership, communication, problem-solving and trust-building skills. Individuals choose the level and degree of their own participation. This provides an opportunity to meet potentially difficult or frightening challenges in a supportive and respectful environment, and a chance to back off when pressure and self-doubt become too strong. Although adrenaline rushes are part of what make our course exciting; education is our primary goal. The most successful programs take into account human nature to ensure the participant is in the best place to learn and grow.

What will the day look like?

The day will start with a gathering of the HFAdventure Community. We will settle in, meet each other, and get ready for our exciting day together! After our personal gathering, the OCRopes Staff will start with the the Grass Top Challenge Course containing challenges close to the ground. Activities on the Low Challenge Course are designed to help our students gain insight into group process and how individuals perform in team situations. They consist of physical and mental problems that the group must work together to solve.

Then we head over to the ropes challenge course built up to 60 feet above the ground. The three-tier course tests your agility, balance and strength on 4 to 32 fascinating obstacles (Burma Buckets, Criss-Cross, Tight Ropes, Zig Zag). Those who choose to participate are outfitted with harnesses and helmets and are clipped into cable systems that allow them to climb and participate in a variety of challenges safely. Participants can safely take risks while navigating physical challenges highlighting trust and support within teams. Those that do not choose to participate can watch, learn, support, and encourage their friends. We will have a second ropes course day

Parents are welcome to drop their students off, join the fun, or stay to watch!
