Adventure Education is a term used to describe programs which emerged out of the Outward Bound and Project Adventure approach to education. Many Adventure Education programs include a component known as a Ropes Course. A Ropes Course is a series of obstacles or problems that are designed to challenge an individual's and/or group's physical, mental, and sometimes emotional resources. These obstacles are made from a variety of ropes, ladders, cargo nets, swings, and tires, on which participants climb, balance, jump, crawl, and problem-solve. Cromwell Valley's "Adventure Gym" is an indoor version of the Ropes Course component, modified for elementary aged children. An indoor rock climbing wall is a unique and popular component in our Adventure Gym experience at Cromwell Valley. All grade levels are included in the Adventure Education program appropriate for their respective levels of development.
"To venture causes anxiety, but not to venture is to lose one's self.... And to venture in the highest is precisely to become conscious of one's self."
