Moonshadow Challenge Course is a state of the art training
tool. It is designed and built to industry standards and
is professionally inspected and maintained. Activities are
designed to present individuals and groups with a series
of problems, scenarios, and situations that must be solved
by using cooperation, creativity, and problem solving skills.
It always includes a big dose of fun and laughter,in addition
to the serious work of becoming a high performing team.
In the hands of a skilled facilitator, a challenge course
(sometimes called ropes course) is one of the most powerful
tools available for exploring team dynamics.
Our facility is nestled in a beautiful mountain cove near
Whittier, N.C. We have over 20 elements and a virtually
endless list of thought provoking, engaging activities for
your group. Generally, these activities involve a group
working together to overcome a challenge. Perhaps the challenge
is a physical one (to use a swing rope to traverse from
point A to point B). At other times the challenge is more
of a mental one . In each case the initiative is framed
to emphasize the learning goals of the group. In other words,
the college group, the elementary school group or the corporate
group will all experience the swing rope, but the facilitation
of the activity will help the group make connections specific
to their own goals.
A Challenge Course experience is in many ways just  what
you make of it. Although we can give you some ideas of what
other people have gained from the experience, what you and
your group actually take away from the experience, will
be highly dependent upon what you put into it. The Challenge
Course is a place where you and your group will have an
opportunity to solve several problems, work together as
a group, and choose to challenge yourself at a level that
is comfortable for you. This idea of choosing the level
of challenge that is comfortable is referred to as Choose
Your Challenge. Another big part of the ropes course experience
is the Commitment to Excellence. These are two concepts
that Project Adventure brought to the field of education.
This is an agreement to go by certain guidelines regarding
how we talk to each other and work with each other while
on the ropes course.
Our Challenge Course trainings are fully insured with WorldWide
Outfitters and Guides Association. We use highly trained
facilitators who are experts on the challenge course and
who are very effective in translating the activities into
lessons with direct application in the "real"
world.
When was the last time you and your team or group took time
out to "practice" the skills needed to stay on
the top of your "game"?? Not even Michael Jordan
would stay at the top of his game without practice sessions.
When was the last time your team had a "Tune-up"?
