Low Elements Course
The Low Element Course is designed to challenge groups
to think creatively to complete up to 8 distinct elements
or activities. Most elements are less than 2' off the ground
and present primarily a mental and emotional challenge,
although some physical exertion may be involved. The Low
Elements are focused on group dynamics and leadership development.
The Low course operates from March 1 to November 1, depending
on weather conditions, and is open to participants 5th grade
and above.
High Ropes Activities
The High Ropes Course consists of a 6 component static
belay course ranging in height from 20-45 feet off the
forest floor, offering individuals an opportunity to complete
challenges high up in the trees while supervised by trained
professionals under rigorous safety standards. The course
is exited by a Giant's Swing, which allows a participant
to swing off a 45' platform out over a wooded valley. High
Ropes present primarily an individual challenge, but offers
groups the chance to learn to support team members through
challenging situations. The High course operates from March
1 to November 1, depending on weather conditions, and is
open to participants 7th grade and above.
The Swing by Choice allows participants to experience
the thrill of the Giant's Swing without completing the entire
High Ropes course. Participants are raised up as high as
they choose, and then pull a cord to swing.
The Giant's Ladder invites pairs of climbers to climb
a giant hanging wire and wood beam ladder, challenging each
other to climb as high as they dare.
Team-Building Games
Meadowkirk's trained staff will consult with your group
leader to determine precisely what goals your group has
for your team-building sessions. All activities can be modified
by the facilitator as they happen, so that each group is
challenged according to its ability and level of functioning.
Meadowkirk also offers group team-building activities that
can be brought indoors to any of Meadowkirk's meeting spaces
or brought to your church, group meeting, or place of business.
Such games and activities might include:
- Human Knot
- Spider Web
- Group Juggling
- Incomplete Bridge
- Everlasting Gobstopper
- Perfect Square
