Ropes Course and Zip Line

The most popular team building event, our ropes course challenge has been designed to create a constructive team building environment that carries over into personal growth and development.

We have three low ropes elements that push participants to let go of themselves and think about the team by asking them to think of the most effective way to solve physically, and mentally challenging problems. Low ropes activities are not strenuous and anyone can do them. They are mental challenges done outdoors at ground level, requiring minimal balance and coordination

Four high ropes elements include a Tandem Rock Wall, Leap of Faith, Vertical Play Pen and Zip Line finish the challenge, pushing participants to overcome self-doubt, communicate and encourage fellow teammates. These activities are more adventurous by nature.

A debrief culminates all activities. The low ropes, high ropes or zip line can all be performed individually or as a package event. It is up to the coordinator and ropes course coordinator to select what is appropriate for the group.

Working Together

Cowboy Ethics, Horsemanship and Cattle Pushing Clinic

Participants can be divided into groups and groups can choose from:

• Instructional time in the ring – what is the true nature of the horse, and how will that information help you on the trail? What are the “behind the scenes” things that you can be doing to better control your horse? These and others will be covered in the arena.
• The cowboy experience with a roping clinic, discusses the uses of the cowboy’s lariat, the proper way to hold and throw it, the different kinds of shots that can be thrown and why.
• One of the most popular is the Cattle Pushing Clinic (seasonal availability). This allows you to be a cowboy and actually learn how to herd, cut and move cattle. Activity debriefs will recap and weave The Code of the West together with a unique twist on team building.

Tee Pee Building

Each team will be provided with a photograph of an actual Native American Tee pee and all of the materials needed to construct a Tee Pee. Without any instruction, each team will be required to work together in constructing their Tee Pee. This activity works best with groups of 10 or less.

Field Day

This entire group will be divided into multiple teams, and be asked to come up with a team name, and team flag. After an opening ceremony the games begin! Teams will participate in a number of events against one another (parachute/water balloon volleyball; fire building; relay race etc.) that require them to work as a team to beat their opponents. This is good, lighthearted fun that really brings the group together!

Outdoor Adventure / Survival Exercise
(A.K.A. “The Amazing Race”)

Participants are debriefed on survival skills including navigational tools survival strategies and tips.

Participants are then divided into small teams and will be provided maps, clues and activities that will take them from one event or location on the ranch to another to seek out the common goal. The ranch can prepare courses as difficult or easy as the group coordinator would like with the ability to span over C Lazy U’s 8,500 acres.
