High Ropes
Any group wanting to challenge themselves, learn to work together better as a team, and have a unique bonding experience will enjoy the high ropes course at Black Rock Retreat in Lancaster County, PA. (If your group doesn’t like heights, check out our low ropes course.)
Through our Challenge Ropes Course experience, your group will have the opportunity to develop:
- Increased confidence and self-esteem
- Increased mutual support within your group
- Problem-solving and goal setting skills
- Decision-making abilities, leadership, and trust in each other
- Appreciation and respect for differences in your group
A single session lasts 3.5 hours, either in the morning or the afternoon. The time starts with a short team building activity and ends with a time of debriefing the experience.
Throughout the experience, our facilitators are focused on safety and enabling the group to meet their goals for the experience. Facilitators lead debriefing discussions during the experience, relating the ropes course activities to everyday life and to our relationship with God.
