Through mountain biking, orienteering, and high ropes adventures, we provide a new twist on nature, our oldest classroom. By combining this special classroom and adventure sports, we teach the importance of verbal and non-verbal communication, teamwork, group processing (working together for a common goal and how our individual actions affect the group), and an appreciation for healthy living. Mountain biking allows us to have fun and explore large areas in a short time. Participants gain camping skills and ethics for exploring the abundant natural resources of Missouri. The high ropes course gives us the perfect combination of adrenalin and safety to challenge the group and the individual at the same time. We combine all of these skills with map reading and compass work to craft a keystone challenge at the end of the week, the details of which revolve around not only, individual choices but group decisions.
