About the Adventure Challenge
The adventure challenge course is a great program to bring together or strengthen any group; residence halls, summer camps, athletics, student organizations, academic classes, scout troops, church groups, and corporate groups are just some examples. Read the Adventure Challenge Testimonials to get a first-hand account of the course.
Programs can be specifically tailored on time and content to work on many teambuilding themes including communication, group dynamics, confidence, decision-making, team spirit, trust, cooperation, motivation, creativity, conflict resolution, diversity, and feedback. The adventure challenge course facility includes the following activities:
Low Course
These problem-based initiatives require cooperation and teamwork from each member of the group to accomplish. They highlight the strengths and obligations of group members and the advantages of working in a team. These events take place on or near the ground but require concentration, thought, and trust to be successful.
High Course
The high course will take you 50 feet off the ground and emphasize self-confidence, individual achievement and trust within a team environment. Stout Adventures has two 50ft towers on the course. Each will present its own challenge.

Choose the Right Package
Below you will find a variety of Adventure Challenge Course packages for you to choose from. Because groups are so diverse in their needs, specific packages have been tailored to meet those needs. Time is a consideration for every group. You will see that each package is offered in different lengths of time. Remember that group size will also influence the amount of time necessary to deliver a great experience. Groups that choose a longer day should bring their own lunch. The longer time slots help groups better identify their strengths and weaknesses and gives more time for powerful debriefing discussions. If you have any question in determining the perfect package, please contact us and we will be happy to help.
