Effective Team Building Event

... for your youth group, business, sports team, church group or other organization.

To see pictures of some of our elements from the different Ropes areas, check out the "Ropes" photo album under the "Camp Areas" collection!

High Ropes

• The Climbling Tower is a three sided tower with rock holds.  Each side offers a different experience and a differing level of challenging paths to take.
• The Leap of Faith is a simple element made of three telephone poles.  With two poles used for the dual safety line system, the third pole is scaled by the participant.  When the participant reaches the top, they can enjoy the view and then leap off.
• The High Ropes Course is located 30 feet above the ground.  Each of the eight elements is constructed of cables, logs, and ropes and are designed to present a physical and emotional challenge to the participants.  After the participant finishes all the elements, they are zipped away on our zip line.

• The high ropes course is fun.
• Participants are moved to greater self-confidence, physically and emotionally.
• Learn to take calculated risks.

Low Ropes

Low Elements

• Encourages and facilitates group development.
• Uses the group's creativity, leadership, trust and encouragement.
• Improves group communication.
• A debriefing discussion following the experience will help groups identify strengths and weaknesses.

FAQ's:

Is it safe?
The safety of group members is our main concern.  All participants are trained by experienced instructors.  All Portage Lake equipment is state-of-the-art and is checked thoroughly by the Portage Lake staff before each use.  Each person is challenged to complete the course, but all that is required is a desire to try.

Making Arrangements
You and your group can make arrangements to use the Ropes Course at Portage Lake simply by contacting us.  We would love to create a ropes course experience to help your group improve community and relationships.
