Orienteering
Students are taught how to use a compass and the names of the parts. After learning and practicing, the students are given an opportunity to test their skills by navigating a compass course. This activity allows the students to work as a team and communicate with each other to successfully complete the course.
Flying Squirrel
Students are challenged with trusting their teammates as they fly through the air. The team will work in unity to hoist their anxious participant in the air in a circular motion while always being backed up by the facilitator. This activity allows students to safely enter their stretch zones while being encouraged by their class.
High Ropes
The students are provided the opportunity to expand their comfort zones and overcome fears while being encouraged by their facilitator and fellow students. High ropes consist of a number of different challenges varying from a climbing wall to zip lines. This is a life changing experience for most students that result in increased confidence and trust.
Low Ropes
Students are challenged by a series of problem-solving experiences that engage them to develop and solve a plan, communicate effectively with others, and trust one another. Each challenge draws upon each student’s participation, ideas and support in order to be successful. The activities are followed up with a debriefing time where students are allowed to process the events and guided into applying this to real life situations.
