The 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.
