High Ropes
High rope elements take
participants 30 feet off the ground, through a series of utility poles,
ropes, and cables.
Participants are kept safe by wearing a helmet and a harness attached to a
dynamic belay rope which is also attached to a trained belayer on the
ground.
The course at Langwood consists of 5 traversing elements and 2 zip lines.
High rope elements include:
- Burma Bridge
- Multi-vine
- Log
- Two-line Bridge
- Sky Chair

Initiative Activities
Initiative activities force the
group to work as a team to solve a problem presented by the facilitator.
Participants are challenged to negotiate a solution to an activity safely
without having the facilitator tell them how to solve the problem.
Communication, leadership skills and teamwork are a necessity for achieving
success. Spotting is taught and used for safety for these activities.
Initiative activities are an important step in team building.
Processing takes place after each activity for the group to reflect on how
well they communicated, worked together and got the problem solved.
Examples include the following:
- Spider's Web (as seen at right)
- Minefield
- Magic Carpet
