Imagine yourself being forty feet above the ground, maneuvering across a wobbling steel cable bridge. Soon you will reach a resting platform and hear your friends and colleagues cheering about your determination and bravery. You will be busy though, contemplating how to find the inner courage to jump off the platform and race down the zip-line, between the trees, finally coming to a stop where the others are waiting for you... Can you conquer these fears? Can you confront the challenges of the future? Going through this experience is just like facing the adversity in our lives. It makes us stronger and provides opportunity to learn valuable lessons. Here, you will discover the personal or professional tools needed to overcome obstacles whenever they arise.
Excelleration's high ROPES course is much more than a thrilling and fun activity. Our learning guides combine this outdoor adventure with practical lessons. The high ROPES course is a powerful metaphor for life's challenges. Going through a high ROPES course side by side with work associates, peer group members, or friends and family will offer a unique approach to professional or personal growth. Experiencing the high ROPES fear together creates camaraderie, builds trust, clarifies communication, benefits taking risks, and generally fosters teamwork. Each participant will recognize their individual assets as they contribute to the group's success.
Excelleration's professional staff is certified and practiced in the best safety techniques to provide a secure experience for the participants. A high ROPES course is an engineered system of elements that engages a participant to solve problems while maintaining emotional composure. The equipment is constructed with specialized poles, anchors, and multi-strand steel cables. High strength belay systems always maintain a participant's overhead position so the likelihood of an injury-causing fall is very minimal. The participants will feel the risks being taken as being much greater than they really are; but this perception actually adds to what is taken away from the experience!
Our high ROPES course is naturally built into the beautiful outdoor grounds of a world-class conference center. We share on-site over night accommodations, meeting rooms, restaurant quality food and beverage, swimming pools and recreational areas, and (most of all) real and clean restrooms! The Excelleration ROPES course provides a fun and safe experience for participants, ranging from corporate managers, to academic faculties, to athletic teams and students.
