Ropes Course (CANCELED)

Trust, communication, teambuilding and leadership are just a few of the skills your organization will focus on at The Heard Ropes Course: Building Teams in Nature. Within the last ten years, outdoor teamwork-enrichment programs have increased in popularity and The Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary is thrilled to participate in this expanding network through our Leadership Program. Our programs are uniquely created to give each participant and team an invaluable set of tools not only for personal growth, but also for professional development.

Experience fourteen challenging elements! The Heard Natural Science Museum now offers a new High and Low Elements Ropes Course located within a beautiful deciduous forest tree canopy. The Heard professional staff will work with you to create a unique program that will benefit your team.

• Rock Climb: The 110 foot high rock climb is no ordinary wall. It is nestled within a two hundred year old Bur Oak Tree; you won't find anything like this around!

• Team Power Pole: Choose a partner and tackle our 40 foot high team pole together, then finish with a leap towards the trapeze.

• Trust Fall: The ultimate low element. Stand on a 4 foot high platform and fall backwards into your teammates arms, trusting that they will catch you.

• Zip Line: The highlight of the day! After challenging yourself all day, enjoy a ride on our 500 foot zip line and soar through the tree canopy with the wind in your hair.

Ropes Course available by reservation only except on pre-scheduled Open to Public Days. Please contact Marcy Freiberg to reserve the ropes course for your group at 972.562.5566 ext. 234, mfreiberg@heardmuseum.org
