The High Course
(Don't forget to check out the Low Course!)
Spend a day on the High Course where the individual and group face and overcome fears. This provides an opportunity to experience the difference between control (the attempt to create safety through our own efforts) and trust (putting safety in the hands of someone or something else). There are a number of ways to shape your group's experience. We will help you pick the elements that fit the needs of your group the best. These activities can be scheduled for either a full or half day.

Challenge, height, and trust. Climb 23 feet into the air and jump to a swinging trapeze. This single element allows you to trust your instincts and you teammates in a true leap of faith.
