The Challenge Course, located outside of gate 10, and across the street from Outdoor Recreation is an exciting and adventurous way to test your skills both individually and as a team.

The course consists of 5 different elements, each with their own challenge.

• The Carolina T-Wall sits just shy of 50 feet and has 8 different faces simulating a realistic style of rock climbing.
• The Alpine Tower, shaped like an hour glass, is a vertical obstacle course. Sitting at 50 feet tall groups will work as a team or individually to ascend the many cargo nets, ropes, poles, and hanging ladders.
• Attached to the Alpine Tower is the Giants Swing. Using pulleys and cables, groups will lift individuals to a height of 30 feet before being released to a controlled fall/swing.
• Next, you have the low ropes course consisting of many unique challenges, most notably the Team Development Course.
• Lastly, you have the largest structure called the Odyssey. This structure is the ideal adult jungle gym. With cargo nets, zip lines, sliding platforms, and cables suspended in mid air, individuals have the opportunity to work by themselves or as teams to traverse from one side to the other.

The ropes course is open to Warrior Adventure Quest programs, soldier’s families, military and civilian communities, private parties, and special events.

Come check out how we can serve your group in an exciting, fun, and safe way! Contact Outdoor Recreation at 270-412-7855 for more information and to schedule your event!
