Low Ropes

WebPartZone1_1

PublishingPageContent

Duration: 1.5 Hours

Years: Prep - 12

Location: Columboola EEC

This course is made up of several low ropes elements, using cables, ropes and wooden beams, strung between poles.

These elements are close to the ground but challenge students to explore risk taking, leadership, communication and build self-confidence. Students work closely with their team mates to learn skills which, for the older students, will transfer to the High Rope course.

The elements vary in difficulty but all students are encouraged to attempt every element, as best as they can.
