Ropes and Rock Climbing
Located on one of the highest points on Mo-Ranch, the ropes course is an adventure-based, hands-on experience where individuals come together to learn more about themselves, their classmates or co-workers, and how to work together to overcome challenges. Carefully constructed, the course is a collection of poles, cables and ropes strung together into elements, individual activities that challenge individuals and groups in distinctive ways.
The low elements course emphasizes teamwork as participants tackle a series of obstacles and situations that require the use of 21st Century Skills– Communication, Problem Solving, Leadership Development, Adaptability, Initiative, Social Skills and more.
The high elements challenge participants to stretch their comfort zones.
The level of involvement is entirely at each participant’s discretion. Our professional outdoor education staff has more than 50 years combined experience in facilitating ropes courses, and we follow the strictest standards.
Ropes course activities and rock climbing sessions require advanced reservations. Programming is uniquely tailored to fit every group’s needs. For group pricing or reservations, contact DJ Owens at 800.460.4401ext. 249 or email your contact information to djowens@moranch.com
