Challenge Course Programming
The ECU Challenge Course is designed for groups to unite in a positive environment that encourages personal growth and group development. We offer the Low Ropes Course and Custom Team Building course programming options. We are willing to work with you based on your group’s needs.
Our programming focuses on building trust and leadership skills, improving participants’ communication, creative problem-solving, collaborating in the face of constraints, and becoming aware of others and self.
