The Low Ropes Course offers an opportunity for individuals to work together in groups to accomplish common goals and objectives as a team. Through active roles in challenging activi-ties, participants will develop strengthened relationships with each other and explore personal characteristics, limits, and strengths while taking on situations that mirror real world problems and issues. Ropes course activities focus on teamwork, problem solving, communication, trust, creativity, cooperation, confidence, decision making, effective feedback, conflict resolution and self-evaluation. Ropes course programs are great for jump starting team development, ener-gizing classroom participation, and just having a ton of fun while you do it!

Bike Maintenance is located at the Outdoor Resource Center in the Campus Recreation Center. We fix many common issues on almost all types of bikes. We also do custom parts and repairs. Bring your bike in to have us check it out!
