Adventure Based Learning (Ropes Course) - Coser 455
Adventure Based Learning courses are designed to actively involve participants
in powerful growing experiences. Working in collaboration with others
can help students build character and enhance self-confidence. Adventure
Based Learning can be part of a comprehensive Character Education Program.
Trust, communication, leadership, personal responsibility, tolerance,
respect for others, and problem solving skills can all be enhanced by
participating in the various physical and mental challenges.
The course is challenging and fun. Participants are taken through a
progression of group problem solving activities. The group is asked to
solve these problems as efficiently as possible. Working as a team, participants
have to assess the problem, determine solutions, choose the best ones,
and marshal the necessary resources to accomplish their goals.
This program is appropriate for both staff and students. Member districts
will be able to
utilize the course five to ten days per school year.
