The Low Ropes Course at Sonoma State University is designed to facilitate group and individual growth through a series of initiatives and elements. The course can meet the needs of each individual group. The activities on the course promote key skills like communication, problem-solving, team building, and trust.
The Low Ropes Course goal is to bring teams and groups closer together and prepare them to succeed both on the ropes course and back in the classroom and/or work environments. Our programming and operations are guided by the following core values: fun and positivity, safety, personal challenge and growth, education, sustainability, community, and ethical conduct.
Every group is unique, every program is unique
