OUTDOOR ODYSSEY CLIMBING COMPLEX
Outdoor Odyssey offers a climbing and rappelling complex that is second
to none. Many towers engage only two or three participants at a time. Our
fifty-foot tower offers seven participants the opportunity to be active at
one time; keeping your group actively engaged is our goal. The unique
construction of our tower allows for all levels of expertise to take part.
The smaller climbing wall was designed at a leaning angle to give all
visitors, young and old, an opportunity to take part. The vertical wall
contains many routes including overhangs and ledges. Our rappel deck
allows our staff to provide rappelling instruction to any novice in a safe
and controlled environment. For the young at heart a fifty-foot cargo net
is available for climbing, always a favorite challenge for young and old
alike. If you are up to the challenge you may try to tackle Chief
BeDoHave's totem pole, definitely not for the faint of heart!
The complex also offers a 75 linear foot bouldering wall, which we call the
keyhole, with varying difficulties.

LEADERSHIP REACTION COURSE
Outdoor Odyssey's Leadership Reaction Course is comprised of twelve
different events. This course was designed to engage the problem solving,
decision making and communication skills of a team of 4 to 6 individuals.
Team members take turns with the leadership role on the 12 different
events, as our trained facilitators will work to pull the strengths and
weaknesses out of every group and individual. Every obstacle has a
different scenario and scenarios can be modified to fit your group's
background. The key concept behind the LRC is to build any group into a
TEAM. Seeing your team members in a new light is guaranteed!

LOW ROPES COURSE
Our Low Ropes Course was designed to engage individual abilities and
tie them into a team challenge. Participants need to learn the idea of
working together to solve a physical problem that may be easy to one
individual, but very difficult for an entire group. Twelve different
events make up the course and range in physical difficulty from easy to
moderately difficult. The course was designed to facilitate to both small
and large groups. Groups up to 15 in size can participate as a team on
this course. Our facilitators reflect on what was learned with the
completion of each event with every group. This helps groups in
understanding how they function as a team, allowing them to find ways to be
more effective. In order to be successful on the Low Ropes ALL group
members must function as a TEAM. The low rope events are performed on or
close to the ground without harnesses. The events gradually increase in
difficulty allowing our facilitators to move a group up as they progress
and learn from their successes and failures.

HIGH ROPES COURSE
The High Ropes Course focuses more on the individual challenge than any
event that we offer. Overcoming fears and leaving individual comfort zones
are all part of the high ropes experience. Overcoming these fears and
handicaps helps individuals and groups to recognize and conquer areas that
block individual and group development. While expanding personal comfort
zones team members still rely on the support and trust of their coworkers
throughout the course. The course is made up of twelve events averaging 25
feet off the ground culminating with a 1000-foot-long zip line.

send you off on a canoeing trip around the beautiful Quemahoning Lake. All
necessary gear is provided and lunch may be served in a picnic at the Lake.
Relax as you explore every inlet of the 22 miles of shoreline.

TEAMBUILDING INITIATIVES
Great for any group, teambuilding initiatives work wonders on group
dynamics. Let Outdoor Odyssey facilitators pull out their bag of tricks on
your group by keeping them busy all day with endless initiatives designed
to bring a group closer together. Whether your goal is to break the ice
with a new team or rekindle the fire of an existing one these initiatives
will work well. All teambuilding exercises are coached and debriefed to
maximize team understanding and helping to improve team performance.

CHALLENGE BY CHOICE
Outdoor Odyssey implements a "Challenge by Choice" philosophy into all
activities. Participation in all adventure and teambuilding related
exercises, is always optional. Rest assured though, that there is
something for everyone regardless of athletic ability and physical
strength. Participants are often surprised at what they are able to
achieve in contrast to their preconception of the experience. Facilitators
are trained to maximize the strengths of ALL team members whether they are
physically limited or not. Many activities require spotting or verbal
support from teammates who wish not to take on a particular activity.
