What is a low ropes course?
A low ropes course is a series of experiential challenges that offer people a chance to practice working on collaboration in a simulated environment. Low ropes courses are used to surface the lessons of team problem solving, team planning, collaboration vs. competition and group decision-making using low impact exercises, either indoors or outdoors.
A low ropes course can be scheduled from two hours to two days, or used to spark energy in an existing meeting. The events typically range from five feet off the group to initiatives that are done on the ground or on the floor indoors.
