Adventure
Education
Mission
Statement
To build self-confidence, enhance self-esteem, promote teamwork
skills and develop leadership qualities for all ages and populations
through safe and challenging adventure activities.
Adventure
Education Program
Construction of Phase I of the Adventure Education Center
began in 1997 with the ropes course. Children and adults can
now challenge themselves on a three-sided, 40-foot climbing
tower with six attached high ropes-course elements designed
and built by Project Adventure in a beautiful wooded setting
at Camp Daggett. A group problem solving initiative course,
tucked in the woods near the nature pond, contains more than
ten different elements and provides opportunities for leadership,
cooperation and accomplishment.
Phase
II of the Adventure Education Center is now also complete.
The 5,820 square foot Indoor Adventure and Activity Center
shelters a 35 foot high by 40 foot wide climbing wall, 10
"universal" high and 15 low ropes-course elements, all designed
for disabled and non-disabled people, and housed in a heated
environment to eliminate the obstacle of weather. This gives
all children and adults access to the adventure experience.
The building also provides recreational space for activities
like basketball, floor hockey and volleyball as well as a
classroom, recreation room, restrooms and equipment storage. The facility is ideal for
use by sports teams, school groups, corporate groups and summer
groups without hindrance of inclement weather.
Camp
Daggett, situated on Walloon Lake, is licensed to house 150
people in the main lodge, dormitories and 12 non-heated cabins
with two nearby restroom/shower buildings.
