Camp Whitesand High Ropes Challenge Course
People learn and develop most effectively by actively doing or experiencing in a milieu that is motivating, challenging and exciting. Risk is normal in the daily lives of all human beings and is essential to their learning and development. Adventure programs enable individuals and groups to challenge themselves and take risks that are intellectual, emotional, physical, social or spiritual in nature. Self-directed challenges and risks become opportunities for learning and personal growth. Learning and growth is integrated and holistic.
Challenge course programs are one of the most effective means of developing and enhancing individual and group self-esteem; trust; risk taking; social competence including communication and problem solving skills; mutual support; teamwork; and leadership skills.
The ropes course at Camp Whitesand is a multi-level course providing 4 self-directed challenge opportunities at the low level, 8 self-directed high ropes challenges opportunities, as well as a 35 meter zip line experience.
All participants in experiential education activities are expected to follow the safety guidelines of the Camp Whitesand Ropes Course. Camp Whitesand course operators have all been trained and certified by Canada’s Premier Experiential Adventure Learning and Development Consulting Company, Challenges Unlimited.  www.challengesunlimited.com
