High Ropes and Zip Lines

Challenge courses are composed of both low and high elements and are used by organizations for group and team development. The goal of the Echo Bluff High Ropes Challenge Course is to provide participants with an emotionally and physically sound environment that allows for informed and supportive risk taking opportunities that helps participants develop a higher level of self-worth, increased confidence and the willingness to take appropriate risks and to grow from these new experiences.

When groups or individuals go up on a high ropes course there is a great opportunity for them to learn about risk taking, their own perceived limits, how they perform under pressure, how they give and receive support from other people and how working together with others collaboratively can help an individual accomplish more than they thought they could.

 Choose Your Challenge

All participants will be informed of the risks involved in the high course they will choose their own level of participation at any time. No participant has to justify their level of participation to the instructor or the group, their informed decision is enough reason for all.
