April 2025: Low & High Rope Challenge Course
This program takes place at the Burchell High School’s Challenge Course. Students learn to work together building trust and communication skills to complete team challenges that include problem solving activities on the ground or on low rope and high rope elements. All activities are challenge by choice and students set their own individual goals whether that’s to engage in a supporting role that stays on the ground or a role that requires more action of climbing via a rope and belay system.
