| Low/High Ropes: |
| Student leadership organizations will be given the opportunity as a group to experience a state of the art high ropes “Odyssey” challenge course. The Odyssey course stands 50 feet high and 360 feet long, and is designed to build self-confidence, teamwork, communication, awareness of strengths and limitations, trust, respect for others, and skills for dealing with anxiety and stress. Once on the course groups are inspired to support one another, communicate effectively, problem solve efficiently, build cohesive relationships and take calculated risks. This leads to great learning opportunities and great fun. |
