ROPES COURSE
LOW ROPES
Low ropes courses are to some extent physical, and rely on participants helping each other through encouragement, teamwork and idea sharing. The course is first demonstrated to the group by the instructor and covers rules for conduct and safety. Fun and problem solving are emphasised in this activity in a safe and supportive environment.
MEDIUM ROPES
The medium ropes course is similar to low ropes but is situated 6 meters off the ground. Relying on peer support and encouragement, each participant is safely secured in a harness attached to a safety line. The group is given instruction in belaying skills and safety precautions. At the end of the course, each participant descends via the flying fox, while being encouraged and cheered on by the group.
HIGH ROPES
High level ropes courses are the next step up and offer opportunities to explore personal limits, goal setting and decision making. They allow participants to reach for new heights and test courage while also building self-esteem. As with the low and medium ropes courses, group and individual safety is paramount and will be covered along with technique by the instructor. All participants are outfitted with the necessary safety equipment. The course is a physical and mental challenge for those individuals and teams wanting to find that special something that gives them the edge.
PAMPER POLE
Often referred to as a leap of faith, participants climb to the top of a seven meter pole where they stand on a platform the size of an A3 sheet of paper. Participants use a safety harness and two safety lines to jump from the platform in an attempt to hit a bell suspended 1 meter higher and 2 meters out. The activity is awesome fun and a great confidence builder.
“THE STANDOUT POINT FOR ME WAS THE WILLINGNESS OF YOUR STAFF TO DO EXTRA THINGS TO SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE OUR STUDENTS. WHETHER THIS INVOLVED OFFERING ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY SESSIONS OR JUST SPENDING TIME TALKING TO TROUBLED/HOMESICK STUDENTS”
