The Team Challenge option has flexible scheduling and is a portable opportunity for indoor or off-campus programs.
The Low Course can present challenges that groups complete through cooperative interaction.
Standing at approximately 35 feet, the High Course offers a variety of personal and group challenges.
Do you want to experience both the Low and High Course? The Modified Course option allows groups to participate in a combination of the two!
For groups looking to create a unique experience filled with a variety of challenges, the Full Day Course provides an experience unlike any other.
If your team is spread out, a Virtual Team Building experience is a great way to bring them together!
Conducted on a site you provide, the Team Challenge option is a great way for people to get to know one another in an informal, fun and interesting way. You can expect a variety of initiative problems, games, and group challenges designed to fit your specific needs. Our philosophy of challenge by choice ensures that every participant has a positive experience!
The Low Course begins with a discussion of group goals and expectations. Then, a series of group games designed to have participants become better acquainted, and prepare them for a fun, positive experience. Next, the group engages in a series of low course elements that increase in difficulty, and usually present challenges that can only be completed through cooperative interaction. Throughout the entire process, the group is allowed to share feedback and communicate openly in an environment of physical and emotional safety. A wrap-up of the day ties the experience together, and facilitates the transfer of the shared experiences back to the participants' everyday lives.
The High Course program includes games, safety training, and time to explore up to ten element bridges, a giant swing, and a zip line. Speciality elements may available upon request (including: High Five, Flying Squirrel, Fidget Ladder, or Low-High). This program offers a mental and physical challenge that is unique to each individual, as opposed to the group. Working together or solo, this program will test each participant and require the support of everyone in your group.
The modified course includes a combination of the half day low course and select high course elements. A catered, picnic style lunch can also be arranged for an additional cost.
A combination of the half day Low Course and half day High Course, Full Day Courses provide both group development as well as personal challenges. The support and encouragement the group offers during the high course is an outcome of the shared experiences of the low course experienced earlier in the day. A catered, picnic style lunch can be arranged for an additional cost.
By using virtual platforms to conduct fun and innovative activities, you'll be able to work together to create memories and build skills that are geared towards your group goals and needs. Additional time can be added by 30 minute increments.

The course requires a mild to moderate level of physical exertion. Since we operate on a "challenge by choice" philosophy, participants have the option of restructuring their participation in an activity to fit the level of mental and physical challenge they are looking for.
Difficulty can be classified as physical or mental.
The Low Ropes Course activities and games can be customized to the request of each specific group. This includes the physical challenge level as well as mental challenge level. Although it generally stays low on the ground, Low Course Programs can still be quite difficult if desired.
The High Ropes Course is suspended in the air and requires some level of physical exertion to complete. It creates team bonding through a shared experience and support of peers, with the challenges as being more individualized in nature.
Due to the physical difficulty and level of understanding necessary to stay safe on the course, age guidelines have been established. The minimum age for the high challenge course is 14. The modified low/high course requires less independent risk and has a minimum age requirement of 10. The low challenge initiatives can be modified to accommodate children no younger than 7.
See Course Options above for group minimums and maximums.
Bring: Please bring a water bottle! We will have jugs of water for refill stations but do not have water bottles to give out. You will also need to bring any medications that could be pertinent to the activity scheduled. You’re also welcome to bring snacks, sunscreen, bug spray, or other personal items.
Wear: To participate, it is required to wear active shoes that are closed toed and heeled. We suggest wearing comfortable closed based on the weather (layers are always a good idea). Some participants prefer wearing a hat or bandana if a helmet is required for your activity.
If participating in one of our High Course activities, the length of shorts should be considered. We ask that the harness not sit directly on skin for your comfort and cleanliness, therefore mid-thigh or longer length pant is suggested.
UNCW Students/Faculty/Staff: Please follow your personal permit regulations outlined by the Parking Office.
Non-UNCW participants: Please talk with the Adventure Coordinator regarding available parking options on campus. You will need to know how many vehicles you expect for your group and if you will have any busses. Some options include: free guest parking lots, pay-by-the-hour spaces, and flat rate hang tags per vehicle (additional fees may apply).
Payment options can be discussed with the Adventure Coordinator during the planning of your program. It is usually collected after a program to allow for changes in weather or participant numbers.
