ROPES Courses

ROPES Challenge Course

Combining elements of the Portable Team Challenge with additional High Elements, the ROPE Challenge is a great way for groups to either work on specific goals, or simply enjoy a recreational team building event. The addition of High Elements creates a significant individual experience for members of the group, focusing on personal achievement and self-awareness.

The Challenge Course at Butler School

The Challenge Course at Butler School is located in Darnestown, MD, about an hour from downtown Washington, DC. Particularly suited for groups of 8 to 50, the ropes course offers a combination of low team elements and high elements to provide a well-rounded team building experience. The High ROPE Course is best suited to small groups whose goal is enhanced teamwork, communication, trust and commitment.

Sample High Elements:

“Leap of Faith” – climb 40 feet up a tree and jump for a trapeze bar!  This is one of the tallest platforms in Maryland!!
“Flying Squirrel” – your team pulls you up, and you swing through the air!
“Swinging Bridges” – traverse a rickety plank bridge with the aid of ‘handrails’ at your waist.
“Islands in the Sky” – leap from platform to platform while suspended 25 feet off the ground.
“Swinging Tires” – traverse a set of suspended tires with the aid of cables hanging from above…
“Climbing Wall” – climb our 30 foot wall, with an overhanging obstacle and a few other surprises.
“Six Ropes” – this low/high element combination has more than a dozen activity possibilities.

ROPES Challenge Course at FLOC Outdoor Education Center

The facilities at the Outdoor Education Center provide a beautiful natural setting for the full ROPES Challenge Course. Situated in the trees and spanning a small creek, the High ROPES Course at FLOC Outdoors is best suited to groups of 8 to 24 participants.

For groups interested in overnight accomodations and prepared food, the Outdoor Education Center provides a variety of packages, from boxed lunch and cabin camping, to Lodge rooming and catered meals.

FLOC OEC HIGH ROPE Challenge is set up in a wilderness setting, providing an intimate experience for small corporate and youth groups. The emphasis is on teamwork and commitment among the members of the group, rather than strictly providing an individual challenge. Each high element requires the assistance of multiple members of the group – from belaying the climbers and spotting the ladders, to lowering climbers down off of the zip line, the group is immersed in the teambuilding experience.

Sample High Elements:

“Giant’s Ladder” – a team activity climbing the rungs of a ladder…
“Burma Bridge” – traverse a cable with the aid of cable ‘handrails’…
“Balance Beam” – climb up a tree and walk across a beam 30 feet high…
