A ropes course is a challenging outdoor personal development and team building activity which usually consists of high and/or low elements. Low elements take place on the ground or only a few feet above the ground. High elements are usually constructed in trees or made of utility poles and require a belay for safety. A ropes course provides participants with a unique opportunity to work and play together on a series of problem solving, group decision making, and positive risk taking activities. The length of your day and your specific goals will determine what activities we do.

Athleticism is not a prerequisite. Our programs focus more on the group dynamics and self-confidence side of outdoor adventure and less on the physical challenge. However, if your group desires, we can create a physically as well as mentally demanding adventure for you.

Not even close. We create a low impact program in a safe and fun environment that will provide you the opportunity to have many successes and celebrations with your peers. There will be many smiles throughout the day.

We use the “challenge by choice” philosophy. Our facilitators encourage you to move beyond your perceived limitations while respecting your decision on how far to move outside your comfort zones. Cooperation and mutual support, rather than competition and physical prowess are emphasized. Although the program may be physically demanding at times, each person chooses his or her challenges.

Your personal safety is at the forefront. We are a member of the association for Challenge Course Technology which is dedicated to safety in the ropes course industry. All activities occur in a safe and supportive atmosphere. While there are inherent risks in any outdoor adventure activity our facilitators are continuously monitoring the event and the environment. The course and all equipment are examined before each program as well as additional regularly scheduled inspections.

Your day will be spent outside. Dress according to the weather. We suggest comfortable, active wear such as shorts, t-shirts, and tennis shoes. Please, no sandals, short shorts, spaghetti straps,

We at Common Ground Adventures look forward to offering you a memorable Team Building experience on “the ropes”.

Rest assured that your program has been designed with your specific group in mind. Any question or concerns please call us at 727- 580-0660
