"experience is education" - aristotle

We love to work with faith based groups on the Challenge Course.

Sometimes it's working on concepts such as grace, following, servant leadership, or relationships on our low ropes course. Often it's touching on ideas of trust, faith, and confidence on our higher elements. Whatever we're doing on the course, the metaphors for faith based groups are astounding.

The way we propose challenges and problems on the course are very similar to religious parables in that we ask participants to take meaning into their personal lives through an analogous concept. A simple game of passing a ball around in a circle becomes a metaphor for sharing ideas, and working toward a common goal.

At the Challenge Course, all participants are given the choice of how much they wish to participate. This allows people to explore their own comfort zones, realize their strengths and weaknesses, and helps us keep people safe both phsically and emotionally.

At the EKU Challenge Course, we provide opportunities for your membership to achieve the impossible!
