| What is the Adventure Challenge Course? Epworth's Ropes Course consists of a number of separate problem solving events and obstacles of various heights and difficulty in an outdoor setting. Every group and individual is challenged to reach for his or her highest level of achievement. The "perceived" risk creates a powerful experience that will foster personal and team growth. Who can take part? Everyone can participate regardless of physical ability or athletic experience. Whether your focus is youth, civic or corporate, Epworth's "Challenge By Choice" is an ideal foundation for any team-building program.
We put Christian principles into practice through elements that build healthy spirit, mind and body. School Groups: We work closely with school administrators, teachers and group leaders to design a schedule addressing areas of special interest and curriculum needs. Civic/Non-profit: We foster teamwork, problem solving and organizational development by meeting the specific needs of each group. The Epworth Adventure Challenge Course is maintained and supervised by experienced, professional, personnel to ensure the safety of each participant. We use state-of-the-art climbing and safety equipment. Design your group's agenda Your "Challenge By Choice" group adventure will be designed to fit all ages and ability requirements. Rates are based on design and length of program.
The focus is on the team. Facilitators draw on the knowledge and ideas of each member and require both participation and cooperation of the entire group for success. The "Team" develops and executes a "plan" to solve a series of problems. High Elements: The focus remains on teamwork but provides further emphasis on individual challenges. Participants expand their comfort zone and overcome fears that often block personal development and achievement. Team members provide support and encouragement to the "climbers" as they face challenges of varying height and difficulty. Your schedule will be customized to meet your goals and fit your time frame.
          Program Information Most groups at Epworth By The Sea provide their own retreat programming. Our main goal is to work with you to cater to the particular needs and demands of your group. Group Size To obtain the full benefit of the Adventure Challenge Course experience, we require a minimum of 10 participants per group. We have handled groups of 100+ before. If you have a large group, we can work with you to design a program to meet the needs of your group. Age Requirements Due to the nature of the Adventure Challenge Course, and the intensity of the focus and attention required, we recommend that participants are no younger than 12 years of age.
