Philosphy

Our Challenge Course workshops are grounded in two working philosophies: the Full Value Contract and Challenge by Choice. These practices are widely used in the field of adventure education; they encourage participants to challenge themselves and set a tone of respect and responsibility.

The Full Value Contract ...

...allows for open and honest communication in a supportive atmosphere.
...offers an open environment that encourages the respect for individual difference.
...asks all to abide by the group's and organization's safety goals and guidelines. 

Challenge by Choice...

...allows each participant to choose his or her own level of involvement in the activities.
...asks each participant to challenge him- or herself, physically and mentally.
...encourages participants to be involved and supportive throughout the day.
