Chaminade's on-site High Ropes Challenge Course, challenges team members to take risks and push themselves beyond individual comfort zones, all within a nurturing and supportive atmosphere. Our ropes course is designed to powerfully reflect the challenges groups face in working together: strategy, coaching, teamwork, goal setting, and implementation and time pressures. Utilizing a real-life environment, a fantastic jungle gym in the trees, creates a remarkable natural metaphor for flexibility, adaptability and growth.

Participation in the Challenge Course does not require special physical conditioning. The course consists of both low, ground-based events and high events that involve climbing while held securely via rope systems monitored by team members. Individuals freely decide how they can best participate, given their own desires and capabilities.

With over 50 years of experience, the Chaminade Resort Sales Team is the very best in the business. To contact our Sales Team, please call 831.465.3421.
