Superior Challenge Ropes Course

The Superior Challenge Ropes Course offers a series of activities
designed for individual and group participation regardless of age, physical limitation or ability.

Participants develop skills in problem solving, communication, decision making, trust, as well as gain a strong sense of self-worth and accomplishment. The Ropes Course experience also promotes calculated risk-taking, enhances leadership and management skills, facilitates organizational change, and builds effective teams.


The newly constructed outdoor facility at UW-Superior features eight high elements and a variety of initiatives and low elements.

 

Initiatives & Low Rope Elements
These physical and mental activities encourage  cooperation, communication and problem-solving skills, leading to mutual support and trust within the group. Some of these activities may involve  perceived risks and challenges.  Low   elements include props such as wooden platforms, boards, ropes and cables.

 

Initiatives & High Rope Elements

The high elements are designed to provide a more individual challenge and to build self-confidence while still relying on the group support system. These activities include climbing and are anywhere from 20 to 30 feet off the ground. A safety system (belay system) is used with each activity.

Please note that all elements of the Superior Challenge Ropes Course may not be available due to maintenance issues, staffing, events/situations or weather beyond our control.
