Planning, building and support for high ropes courses

High ropes courses are the ultimate group or team challenge. They are a combination of both vertical and horizontal challenges, constructed from wood, cable and ropes installed above the ground between trees, wood poles or steel framework.
When participants go up on a high ropes course there is a great opportunity for them to learn about risk taking, their own perceived limits, how they perform under pressure, how they give and receive support from other people, and how working with others collaboratively can help an individual achieve more than they thought they could accomplish.

With our team of highly skilled staff we can build any sorts of high or low ropes elements in your hotel/resort. From teambuilding elements that can be done by company and management teams or adults to high ropes courses with a length from 15m to 3km that are based on a individual testing of the limits (adventure parcs), we will build a great activity for everybody in your facility. Famous are our “Mini-Highropes” for kids aged 1-6 years in 1m height. From 1 to 60 different stations or just a flying fox to have a special thrill for your clients – anything is possible. In the natural environment of the forest or on the plain field.

Camp Adventure will work closely with you and your organization to develop a ropes course consisting of the appropriate activities for the type of groups you will be serving and which is appropriate for your site and image.

Types

There are two different types of high ropes courses that can be build: the “maze high ropes courses” allow for the whole group or a portion of the group to all experience the ropes course together. All elements are linked together. Participants have options at each transition point. Or the high ropes courses which is formed more as a line where one participant a time goes up and completes the activity. These types of courses can be one single element or a series of single elements.

Forest or field

High ropes courses can be built in trees or on utility poles, or a combination of these two. Courses may also be constructed indoors, such as on the trusses of a gymnasium. Each type of course has advantages and disadvantages, and Camp Adventure can help you determine what will best meet your needs.

We can offer you professional climbing staff who take care of your clients or through our certification program teach your in-house staff members to become certified High Ropes Course Safety Instructors or assistants. Please have a look on our section 5 – Formation of staff members for more information.
