Do
I have to be an athlete to do the challenge Course? |
No. Many of the elements
are designed for team building and cooperation and can be done by
all skill levels. |
Can
you get hurt on the Challenge Course? |
Yes. It is important
to listen to the facilitators as they discuss safety concerns on
the course. Although elements of the course may seem dangerous, they
are safer than driving, in general. While there is an atmosphere
of fun, safety comes first, "if it's not safe, it's not done".
All participants must wear a helmet when climbing on the wall. |
How
many people can be in a group? |
A minimum of 8 participants
is required to participate on the Challenge Course and there can
be a maximum of 15 participants in one group. We will split larger
groups into more manageable sizes. |
What
age groups can do the challenge course? |
Anyone 8 years old
and older can participate in the challenge course. One adult chaperone
for youth groups under 18 years old is required. |
Why
did SUU build a challenge Course? |
Studies show that
students who bond with their advisors, professors and other students
are less likely to leave after their first year of college. The course
was build to increase retention at the university. |
How
