Choice philosophy. All activities are voluntary.

potential, freely and without pressure. |

The types of
activities involved in the Ropes Course, all require trust,
effective communication and mutual support for success. Low
elements, also known as Strategic Games, are at ground level.
Some may involve physical activity, while others focus mainly on
creative thinking and problem-solving.
