Low
Elements
|
Whale
Watch
The
Whale Watch is a large teeter totter. The object
of this element is to balance the whale watch with an
entire group. Groups will have to work together by communicating
and working in sync to complete the task.
|
 |
Spider
Web
A
giant spider web that hangs between two trees will require
participants to get through each hole and safely to the
opposing side. The element will challenge planning
tactics and trust within the group.
|
 |
Nitro
Crossing
The
group must traverse a 10-15 foot span onto a platform
using only a rope for assistance. The group must
figure out how to retrieve the rope, which dangles in
the middle of the open space, get the entire group to
the platform, and carry a bottle of medicine(water) to
the "injured victim" that is trapped on the
other side.

Wild
Woosy
Wild
Woosy is an element challenging the trust, cooperation,
and coordination between two individuals. With
spotters on either side the two will travel as far as
possible on two diverging tightropes, using only each
other for support. How well the pair works together
will determine how far they go.
|
 |
Wall
Without
using any aides, the group must get from the ground to
the other side of a 10-foot wall. Once a participant
has reached the other side he may no longer help the
other group members. The wall will test the dynamics
of the group and will push them to cooperate and trust
one another.

Bosun's
Chairs
Participants
will climb up one tree and traverse to a tree twenty
feet away by hopping from one bosun's chair to the next.

Flying
Squirrel
The
group will work together as a belay team to hoist an
individual far off the ground, sending them flying through
the treetops.
|
 |
Leap
of Faith
Participants
will climb to a platform 30 feet off the ground. While
attached to a chest harness and belay system the participant
will take a giant leap into the air and attempt to hit
a ball suspended above them. Fears will be overcome
for many participants through this element.

 |
Tension

Each
participant must climb up one tree and cross a horizontal
