Challenge and Adventure Programs create situations that challenge the abilities of individuals and groups. By placing each participant outside of his or her own comfort zone, an adventure program break barriers within the group and promotes an atmosphere of support, trust and cooperation. While overcoming fear, the end result is a more confident and capable individual and a more cooperative team.

Some Outdoor Activities include:
