This day program utilises our new Low Ropes Challenge Course to provide opportunities for students to complete challenging elements and problems as both individuals and team members. Students will require group problem solving skills to negotiate the Whale Watch Platform, Spider Web and Planet Ooze. Students will have opportunities to reflect on their strategies and plans, with a view to enhancing the achievement of personal and group objectives. All Barambah programs require students to adhere to minimal impact practices in our outdoor context.
