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