Our activities are designed for everyone and can be modified in many ways to accommodate different levels of ability or engagement. Our ground activities may include standing and walking on uneven ground, short bursts of jogging, hopping, or tossing light throwable objects.

Climbing is optional and never forced. We always encourage participants to step outside of their comfort zone and find a way to challenge themselves, but we will never force anyone to do anything that doesn’t feel right. For most of our climbing elements, we use a team belay system which allows participants to stay engaged by providing support from the ground.

A pregnant person may participate in most aspects of our program. We offer many activity modifications.

We can offer customized programming that utilizes marketplace assessment tools. Please connect with our team request a program with these elements.

Of course not. Depending on the goals of your program, we can design programs that utilize ground-based activities, and/or use our low challenge course. This option still offers excellent opportunities for your team to physically experience trust, confidence, and team support while staying close to the ground.

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes to be outside all day. We do ask that you wear close toed shoes (tennis shoes, lightweight hiking shoe or boot) and bring your own personal water bottle. A rain shell or windbreaker is a great option depending on the weather, but we have plenty of extras if you need one!

Our clients vary in age, gender, and physical abilities. A successful program requires teamwork, effective communication, and commitment—not physical strength or endurance. We customize every program to ensure that everyone can participate. Additionally, our site offers various ways to engage physically- from low impact ground-based activities to high challenge course activities.

Typically we run programs from 9am – 4pm here at our Leakin Park Campus. Full day programming offers your team the right amount of time to get the most out of your experience!

Please give us a call for more information about customized programs.

We run our programs rain or shine! In the event of soggy weather, we work hard to provide the same meaningful and safe experience for all. We adapt by programming under sheltered spaces, providing rain gear and warm clothing for everyone, and adjusting the program flow as necessary.

Participants should wear closed-toe shoes. Sneakers are great, sandals are not. Clothes should be comfortable and appropriate for an active day outside. Please be aware that the program runs rain or shine. Dress appropriately. Except for t-shirts, do not bring cotton items, as they lose their insulating quality when wet. Wool or synthetic clothing is recommended for cooler weather.
