These are just a few of the low ropes course
elements that are in use. We offer complete building plans for many
of these elements. Look for more soon. |
|
|
 |
ALL ABOARD This element requires
the entire group to stand with both feet on a 2' x 2' (ft.) wooden
platform and remain off the ground for a minimum duration of 5 seconds
or one song chorus. |

BURMA BRIDGE
Using
the hand ropes, participants walk on the foot cable and cross the
bridge. ideal for very young participants and can easily be
modified for people with disabilities. |

ALLIGATOR
SWAMP or Bridge Out
consists of two
larger raised wooden platforms with a smaller platform in the
middle. The platforms are about 7 feet apart. The task is to get
the whole group from one large platform to the other large platform
via the small platform using two board that by themselves aren't
quite long enough. No jumping! And if anyone touches the ground,
they may have to start again. |

GIANT FINGER
The group, working in unison,
places or removes the giant ring from the 8' - 10' high finger.
Proper planning, safety and spotting must be implemented in order
to assure success. |
|
|
 |
RIVER CROSSING or
PUZZLE BRIDGE Bridge
segments of different sizes must be used to get he group across the
'river'. Only three bridge segments are available for 5 - 7
openings. |
|
|
|
 |
THE WALL
is
just that, a smooth 10 - 14 foot wall over which each team member must
go over. This takes planning as well, especially to figure out how
to get the last person up and over.
|
|
|
 |
TRUST FALL
really does
demonstrate the importance of trusting one another. It is a
platform about 4' off the ground. From a standing position on the
platform, a team member falls into the arms of 8 teammates. It
sounds simple, but it is one of the most mentally challenging
elements we have... so much so that only High School and above may
do it. |
|
|
 |
TROLLEYS The objective of this
element is to cross an area about 20' (ft.) square using two 4"X4"s
which are 10' in length with our falling off. The beams are
equipped with rope loops to be used as handles. |
|
|
 |
The WHALE WATCH is
designed to help strengthen community through
challenge, cooperation and communication, the low ropes is an ideal
activity for youth or adult groups. The entire group must find
balance on the giant seesaw. To increase the challenge, they must
switch sides or move around a circle or all dismount without the
platform touching the ground.
