HOFFMAN CHALLENGE COURSE
Reach new heights! Try out the “zip line,” the “pamper pole,” the “giant’s
ladder,” or other high challenges. Test and strengthen your teambuilding
skills on our low challenges such as the “whale watch,” “nitro
crossing,” and “around the world.” High challenges employ rock climbing
technology for safety at heights of 10 to 60 feet. Fun and engaging low
initiatives challenge a group to work together in accomplishing common
goals. Both high and low initiatives are based on the “challenge by
choice” philosophy. This means our staff will focus on safety, allowing
you to choose the level of challenge that is right for you. Any and all levels
of physical ability are encouraged, for ages 8 and up. Choose either family
session or adults-only session. Participants must pre-register for this
event by May 27. Walk ins may or may not be accommodated after that.
