Outside and on to the "playground" is where many groups
with teambuilding on their mind are finding themselves. The
age of lecture halls, notepads, and lengthy classroom
seminars are over for the most part. Bring your group to a
half-day, full-day, or several days of ropes at Camp
Winnamocka. Groups all over are experiencing our fantastic
tool aimed at encouraging teamwork, communication skills,
group pride, and trust.
Businesses, corporate groups, non-profit organizations, and
school groups are participating in teambuilding challenges
at Winnamocka. These challenges, referred to as low element
ropes and initiatives, create learning situations that
reflect real life experiences. Whether your goal is to
enhance communication skills, leadership skills,
goal-setting techniques, and/or boost teamwork and company
or group morale Winnamocka's ropes course is the place to
go. And instead of listening to hours of lectures about
what you should be doing in the office or on the playing
field, we focus immediately on your particular company or
group, your actions, your goals, your team and discussing
how it works. You will be doing all of these things while
having a super time with each other.
Banks, television stations, chamber of commerce groups,
churches, health agencies, basketball teams, couple's
groups, and hospitals are just some of the organizations
that have experienced ropes at Winnamocka. Brent Jackson,
an adventure instructor at Winnamocka says, "You would
never think that a company or group would learn so much on
a beautiful day in the woods. So much can be accomplished
if you create the atmosphere to share, to talk about needs
of a company, identify the problems, and set the goals for
the future."

Remember:
You don't have to be an athlete!
Anyone can do ropes!

There are basically two types of ropes at Winnamocka - low
element ropes and high element ropes. Groups can choose a
variety of ropes course experiences. They can spend a half
day on low element ropes, a full day of low element ropes,
or a full day of first low element ropes, and then high
element ropes. If a group is spending more than one day on
ropes we can adjust the days as needed or distribute as
needed.
High Element Ropes
The most unique high element ropes course begins out of the
forty-five foot Swiss Family Treehouse. Those who wish to
watch and encourage have a bird's eye view of the course by
watching from the treehouse.
"Challenge by Choice" (Project Adventure) takes the front
seat as each participant sets the goal of climbing to the
second step on a ladder, or the top of a thirty-five foot
pole. The high elements have an enormous effect on
attitudes of pride, CHOICE (whether it is not to climb or
to climb), new experiences and bonding with teammates.
The purposes of high element ropes are for goal-setting,
self-confidence, and pride. Many people tend to set goals
at levels easy to reach. High element ropes brings up the
discussion of goal-setting, and positive attitudes. High
elements encourage the mind set of expecting success and
hence working for it, not simply hoping for it. "I hope I
can get to the top of this pole," means one thing, while "I
expect to get to the top of this pole," means another. The
confidence gained and the fun had on a high element ropes
course is well worth the experience.

Low Element Ropes
The Low Element Ropes Course at Winnamocka consists of
several challenges that involve problem-solving,
communication, listening to others needs, and teamwork. We
customize these challenges for each individual group. Many
challenges are not challenging physically, however
challenging to the team in other aspects. "Challenge by
Choice" (Project Adventure) is the key to Winnamocka's low
element ropes course. Each individual sets his or her own
limits in each individual initiative. This allows all to
participate at their own pace while stepping a bit outside
of their "comfort zone." Limits are set not by the group or
instructor, but by each participant. Safety, instruction,
and trusting guidance is given by our certified
instructors.
The High Element Ropes Course at Camp Winnamocka is an
experience in itself. Harnessed participants, by their own
choice, traverse logs, wires, ropes, and cargo
nets sometimes 35 feet in the air, or swing from a 450-foot
zip line. A participant chooses their own routes, set their
own limits, and are constantly monitored, directed, and
supervised by a certified ropes instructor who is concerned
first and foremost about safety while insuring the best
experience for your group.
