The Colorado State University-Pueblo Challenge Course is designed to
benefit groups of all kinds who want to work together toward a common
goal. The course objectives are to promote cooperation and group
problem-solving skills, as well as, develop individual self-confidence,
leadership skills, teamwork, and communication skills. The course
introduces groups to artificial stressors and challenges in a controlled
and safe environment. The challenge course setting provides an
opportunity for groups and individuals to learn about themselves and
address personal, interpersonal, and organizational issues. Each team
member brings a unique personality and style of communication that
contributes to the dynamics of a team. Team members discover how vital
individual contributions are to the success of the team. Participants
have an opportunity to reflect on their team-building adventure and
apply their experience to everyday life. Each program, whether
High Rope Elements,
Low Rope Elements or our Indoor Course, is customized to meet a
group's specific needs and to address certain themes which they deem
important. Your program will be a unique adventure with the potential to
induce learning and behavior change on both an individual and group
basis.
