Walled Lake Consolidated Schools' Outdoor Education Center's Adventure Challenge Course

The WLOEC Adventure Challenge Course is designed to promote interpersonal and intrapersonal growth in a fun and challenging atmosphere. Student groups, religious organizations, scout troops and corporate groups are encouraged to rent our course and facilitators to reach their group's goals and objectives. There are 3 main components to the Adventure Challenge Course:

-Team Challenges (Low Ropes/Initiatives) -Groups of 12-15 participants of any age participate in a variety of activities that will challenge the group both physically and mentally. These activities are a good fit for organizations who want to work on issues such as trust, team building and group bonding.

-Climbing Tower- Our 3 sided climbing tower offers 7 different climbing areas that range from easy to difficult. Participants are able to choose the area that they feel will challenge them the most. Participants are often belayed by their own group members in a "team belay" increasing trust and support between team members. Our Climbing Tower is a "must do" when using our Adventure Challenge Course. Students as young as 8 years old can participate as long as they can properly be fitted into our harnesses by our trained facilitators.

-High Ropes/Zip Line-Our High Ropes Course has a custom design to fit the needs of the WLOEC both programmatically and aesthetically. Participants in 6th grade and higher can climb a 35 foot high cargo net to access the operations deck of the course. Participants can then choose from several routes to access 10 different challenges that spread throughout the course. To descend the course, participants are hooked to a trolley and cable where they "zip" down to their teammates. The high ropes course is a perfect activity for reaching goals such as supporting one another, facing adversity, accepting challenges, self-respect and self-esteem.
