• “I liked all the courses my group participated in. The Ropes
course was a fun and challenging way to work with different people. We learned
another way to trust the individuals in our group. We gained confidence with one
another throughout the course in order to complete our tasks. We played the part of leaders
and students by listening to peers, as well as contributing
our own thoughts. Overall, the ropes course was a great
learning experience.”

• “I thought the ropes course was a great
icebreaker. It allowed me to meet people in a fun
and interactive way. Everyone’s true
personality came out. I could instantly see the determination and the
eagerness from each individual to get the
problem solved. I also made a new friends. It
was a great team building activity that applied to
normal life. In the working world I would
have to work with different people
everyday, this was a peep into the future.”
Basirah
• “By doing the ropes course I learned that in
order to do certain courses you have to
work with people that you may not know. In order to complete the
ropes course challenges, we had to
put our differences aside and work
together. The Ropes course helped me out a
lot, because I’m very shy and like to be by
myself sometimes, but it helped me break out
of my shell and meet new people.”
Kaiya
• “The Ropes course was a great
experience for me and it taught me a great
deal of how to work in a team. It also helped
me come out of my comfort zone. As a
team we strategized, maintained confidence
in one another, and carried on with
momentum. Overall, this experience
allowed me to truly get to know someone
instead of judging a book by it’s cover.”
Dannie
• “The Ropes course was a fun experience. It focused more on teamwork. It was very helpful by teaching us that we can’t always do things by ourselves. We had to think about our peers also. Most importantly, it taught us all about leadership and how to share it equally.”
Airiann
• “The day of the Ropes course was a phenomenal day, for me as an individual. It was both physically and educationally challenging. In the beginning, we were all strangers and then we slowly became a unit. The Ropes course was a moment of team support out weighing a huge fear of self-doubt.”
Denisse
• “My favorite challenge in the Ropes course was the whale watch. All ten group members had to balance on a plank. If the plank touched the ground we had to start all over again, so we really had to work together to figure the perfect balance. This experience helped bring out leadership qualities I thought I didn’t possess and empowered me.”
