Adventure Challenge Course - ACC
The Adventure Challenge Course is designed for younger participants.

As the group progresses, they move through a series of 2 or 3 more challenging "elements," involving swinging tires, walls, beams, ropes, platforms, and teeter-totters. Time is taken during these activities to discuss and learn from the group's approach to solving the challenge presented. Communication, leadership, cooperation, patience, goal setting, analysis and planning are some of the team attributes addressed during the challenge course.

twin cables that also get further apart! This activity builds communication skills,
cooperation and creative thinking.
Time: 3 hours

faith, fears, and how to encourage and treat others.

Back and forth the rider swings. Riders get to choose how high they want to be pulled. Faith and fun are emphasized in this activity.

perseverance and cooperation to make the final goal.
