Chesterfield Challenge Course
About the Challenge Course
The Chesterfield County Challenge course is a ropes course with a graduated series of events for individuals and groups that can:
- Boost confidence by emphasizing problem solving, team work and communication
- Foster positive attitudes, self-discovery and trust
- Present physical, psychological and social challenges
- Test and stretch personal limits
No prior skills, experience or knowledge is required to participate.
Our trained facilitators follow the principle of “Challenge by Choice." Participants are encouraged to push themselves beyond their comfort zones and into their learning zone, but it will always be up to the participant to choose how far they go.
Groups
Currently the challenge course can meet the needs of a variety of groups such as:
- Birthday Parties
- Classroom retreats
- Management teams
- Family Reunions
- Scout troops
- Sports teams
- Staff training seminars
- Teacher training
Programs Options & Fees
We offer two program options:
- Action-packed half day
- Full day with lunch break
Fees are based on the number of people in the group and number of staff needed to run the group.
As a County parks and recreation program we are committed to equal access regardless of budget. Let us custom design a program for you!
