Vertical Play Pen PROGRAMS
Overview
The Vertical Playpen at the Bellevue Challenge Course is a wonderful option for groups who would like to experience a high challenge course element with a large team-based component.
Climbing teams of up to three people at a time will set goals and rely on their team members to help get them there! The ground team is charged with coaching and belaying their climbers, and will also get the chance to climb and be supported when their turn comes.
The Vertical Playpen program allows team members to challenge themselves in ways other than climbing, while remaining fully invested in the group's experience.
Every team member plays a critical role regardless of whether they choose to climb or not, which makes this a perfect option for groups who have several people that might otherwise opt out of a high element experience with their team. This program pairs beautifully with a Low Course experience.
