Low Ropes C.O.P.E. Challenge Course
Low Ropes C.O.P.E. Challenge Courses or Group Initiatives, also called teams courses, low ropes courses, low ropes team courses, challenge courses and low challenge ropes courses are team problems and/or obstacles that challenge groups or teams both mentally and physically. These group activities require teamwork  (the interaction of all  members) to accomplish a task. These team initiative activities allow for the facilitator to work right alongside the group, helping them work through their objectives, and coaching and preparing them for bigger challenges, such as a high ropes course, climbing tower or an upcoming scouting expeditions.

A variety of low ropes course / team initiative activities can be selected to meet your troops or scout camps specific facility needs and programming goals.  Each C.O.P.E. challenge course element can be permanently installed or if space is an issue you can choose from our exciting and adventurous line of Portable C.O.P.E.
