Description
Question: What size of group do I need to participate on the Four Mounds Ropes Course? Answer: Nine to twelve people per instructor is recommended for the low ropes course. Three to twelve per instructor is recommended for the high ropes course. Question: How long should we plan for our group's ropes course experience? Answer: We will assist you in determining the ideal time for your group based on your goals, group size, and mix of activities, e.g. low course only or a combination of the low and high ropes course. We have enough activities/elements on the course that your group could easily spend three days. The average for most groups, however, is four to seven hours. Question: What about age and physical ability? Do I have to be young and physically fit to participate on the ropes course? Answer: For over 14 years, we have been working with groups whose ages range from 6 to 76 years young. We design each program in line with the age, skill level, physical ability, and goals of each group member. For example, the program for a sports team is designed to be more physically challenging than what a group of fifty-five year old managers may experience. Most groups discover that they are capable of participating at a much greater level than they anticipated or give themselves credit for, but at no time is there ever any pressure put on anyone to attempt an activity that they are emotionally or physically not comfortable participating in. Question: Is there still a way for me to be a part of the team if I opt not to be as actively involved in an activity as my teammates? Answer: Absolutely. "Challenge by Choice" is the philosophy that everyone in the group agrees to abide by while on the course. This means that if you are physically or emotionally uncomfortable with attempting or being fully involved in an activity, your teammates will support and encourage your level of participation for that particular activity. Question: What about safety? Answer: Safety is the number one priority with everything that we do on the course. We sport an outstanding safety record that is second to none in the industry. All construction, design, and facilitation are conducted according to ACCT (Association of Challenge Course Technology) standards. Every instructor is trained and certified in the latest technical and facilitation skills to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for your group. Question: What distinguishes what you do on your ropes course from the others out there? Answer: Employee development. Our mission is to be the best training and employee development organization in the business. Thus all of our energies and resources are directed towards this end. We employ the best and brightest instructors who know how to make the transition from the field to the workplace. Question: What about rates? How do you charge for the ropes course? Answer: We charge by the size of your group and the length of time that your group is on the course. We offer a discounted rate for families and non profit organizations.
