Inspired by the British military’s team-building drills, ASEs (Action Socialization Exercises) take place on the open field, to practice teamwork and leadership on level ground, whether transporting a can of “nuclear” tennis balls or untying the notorious “human knot.” Most groups elect to take these challenges on immediately after arrival.

Our redesigned Low Ropes Course emphasizes thinking on three levels: personal achievement and confidence, teamwork, and advance planning. Three to four teams, having entered through different tunnels and bridges, must work within and without to complete the myriad challenges before them.

Visitors have many more chances to practice teamwork and leadership skills on the dozen plus elements of our Teams Course. Most of the challenges emphasize advance planning and group thinking, and the instructor is likely to tie all the events together into one common theme to provide students with context.
