TRUST FALL Low ropes element TRUST FALL really does demonstrate the importance of trusting one another. It is a platform about 4' off the ground. From a standing position on the platform, a team member falls into the arms of 8 teammates. It sounds simple, but it is one of the most mentally challenging elements we have... so much so that only High School and above may do it. Try it with a Catch net.

hole in space low ropes

HOLE IN SPACE or BORN AGAIN is a tire suspended from two nearby trees. It doesn't swing because of the way it is tied down, but the bottom of it is about 6' off the ground. The task is to get each and ever member of the team up and through the tire. Team members can only help members on their side (that is, those who made it over can't help others go up on the up side and those who haven't made it over can't help those coming down on the down side).

low rope element TP shuffle

 TP SHUFFLE or LOG JAM is just a 20 foot horizontal log laying on supports on the ground. The top may only be about 18" above the ground, yet it is a real challenge when the group has to balance on the log and then half must switch ends with the other half. And who knows what kind of restrictions the facilitator might impose on the group, or on those who end up touching the ground?
   

 

 CRATE STACK Two climbers must work together to construct a stack of crates as high as you dare, balance and coordination are needed to prevent them form all crashing down. The Crate Stack really involves the whole team as they must work effectively to feed the climbers the crates to get the stack higher.
