Adventure Experiences offers services for CHALLENGE COURSES, ZIP CANOPY TOURS, and ADVENTURE PARKS which include: consultation, design, construction, inspection, facilitator training and certification, and equipment and material sales. Experiential education was originally based on long expeditions to create artificial stresses and obstacles for participants to overcome and gain confidence. Educat
ors realized they could offer the same type of stresses and challenges in a shorter amount of time creating the first challenge course. These courses were originally constructed of rope, wood, trees, and cable hence the title - ropes course construction. The industry continues to grow in popularity and program development. Corporations and athletic programs utilize these challenge courses to build teamwork, trust, communication, and problem solving. The industry has evolved into utilizing the challenge courses for therapeutic recreation, rehabilitation, and counseling.
