Experiential Team Building – High Team Challenge (High Ropes)

Come out to the UNC Charlotte High Team Challenge Course on our main campus to challenge your group to get to know one another, build stronger relationships and trust, improve communication and problem solve. Each half-day program is catered to your group goals and can range from general team building to addressing specific group issues.

The ‘ODYSSEY’ Course provides for flexible programming. A session on the Odyssey can focus on a variety of client needs from recreation to personal growth. However, it does add a new level of intensity since it all takes place from 3 feet to 35 feet in the air. Individuals stretch the boundaries of their comfort zone while working together within small groups of 3 to 8 other team members. The zip line to return to the ground is a high point for many.

The Odyssey is designed to build self confidence, teamwork, trust, communication, awareness of strengths and limitations, respect for others and coping skills for dealing with anxiety and stress. It’s also fun for most!

The ‘ILIAD’ Course also offers a variety of experiences for client needs from recreation to intensive team building and is a bit more physical demanding than the Odyssey. This course is completed in partnerships of two people working together on one element at a time. Like the Odyssey, it really pushes the opportunity to stretch the boundaries of comfort zone and physical challenge at heights of 15 to 35 feet above the ground. This Iliad provides the same learning opportunities as the Odyssey, and better serves those groups looking for more demanding mental and physical challenges.

The ‘DYNAMIC ELEMENTS’ and ‘GIANTS SWING’ offer additional kinds of challenges.

The DYNAMIC ELEMENTS challenge is designed to push your physical and mental boundaries while gaining self confidence in a team environment. The “Vertical Playground” and “Space Loops” require a great deal of upper body strength and thus demands greater physical excursions which can provide a huge dose of adrenaline.

The second element – the GIANTS SWING offers a gut-check feeling that makes most people yelp with excitement is not to be missed. On the Swing, participants control how high they want to be raised by the group before starting their pendulum like drop.
