WHAT IS A ROPES COURSE?

Ropes Course - defined

A ropes course is a hands-on experience providing individuals and groups a series of activities incorporating physical, mental, and emotional risk taking. The environment, though stimulating, is hinged on safety and participatory cooperation, yet will induce a true living on the ropes experience.

 

Wikipedia says of a ropes course -

A ropes course is a challenging outdoor personal development and team building activity which usually consists of high and/or low elements. Low elements take place on the ground or only a few feet above the ground. High elements are usually constructed in trees or made of utility poles and require a belay for safety.
