The
Longwood
University ’s Ropes Course
provides an educational and rewarding experience for individuals and
small groups to develop leadership, group cohesiveness, problem
solving and communication skills. Since 1987, the Longwood Ropes
Course has socially, physically, emotionally and intellectually
challenged hundreds of people from campus organizations and academic
classes to outside groups such as the boy scouts, church groups, school
groups, athletic teams, and independent professional organizations.
The Ropes Course is located near the Longwood golf
course, less than 2 miles from campus. There are 11 low elements, 3
high elements and multiple initiative activities.
|
Low Element
The low elements promote team
building, leadership, followership and require group commitment,
communication and participation to complete. High elements are
used to enhance individual growth and self-esteem. |
|
High Element
The
combination of low and high ropes courses enable participants to
grow at both the team and individual levels, exploring trust,
risk, and self-discovery.
Groups
are lead by qualified and well- trained student and staff
facilitators. A minimum of 8 participants is required for a
group. Each group will determine their goals for the experience
and the facilitators will ensure that the groups goals are met
throughout their time frame.
Longwood’s ropes
course follows the “Challenge by Choice” philosophy whereby each
individual chooses their challenge and the level of which he or
she wishes to be challenged. |
