ROPES COURSE/RAPPELLING

The Ropes Course and Repelling Course is an exciting addition to the activities available at PWI. The Ropes Course, built by Project Adventure, was designed within the natural surroundings of the forest. The low ropes consist of elements such as The Whale Watch, Islands, and the Mohawk Traverse. The high ropes are made up of elements such as the Pamper Pole, 250' Zip Line, and the Dangle Duo. Students progressively work toward the more difficult elements on a self based level. Self-reliance as well as teamwork is emphasized while building trust. The ropes course directly builds self-esteem in our students, which is sorely lacking. Once the Ropes Course is mastered, students are allowed to proceed to the Rappelling curricula. Our 63' rappelling tower teaches students the proper safety measures of rappelling. After mastering the basis skills, students embark upon field trips gradually increasing the height of their rappels.

PWI's ropes course instructors are certified and have been trained by Project Adventure and AMI. The Ropes Course and the Rappelling Tower are available for community and corporate use at a nominal fee. If interested, please contact us at PWI Ropes Info for details.
