YATES LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE COURSES OUTCOMES

Outdoor experiential programs, including NMMI's Ropes Course and LRC, can be designed to meet a number of educational, developmental, and recreational goals. They promote positive personal and societal outcomes and alleviate negative outcomes--especially for youth.

Programs using low ropes course elements or group initiatives are most often designed to explore group interaction, problem-solving, and leadership.

High ropes course and climbing programs generally focus on personal achievements and ask participants to confront their personal fears and anxieties. Challenges may be physical and/or emotional. In such cases, outcomes often include exploring the fundamentals of trust, personal and group commitment, and coaching.

Some of the commonly claimed outcomes include enhancement of:

 

Cooperation Decision Making Self confidence Positive Risk Taking Cohesion

Trust Self esteem Leadership Goal setting Teamwork
