Built in 1996, Peninsula College Challenge Course has established a strong reputation for consistently providing safe, high-quality programs that produce outstanding results. Located outside at the back of the Port Angeles campus, in the privacy of large standing timber, the course features both low and high elements. Low elements are on or close to the ground, while high elements range from 20 to 35 feet in the air.

 The heart of Peninsula College Challenge Course is learning by doing. Participants progress through a graduated series of exercises that require four critical elements: joint effort, good planning, efficient use of resources and communication.

Because actions and outcomes occur in quick succession, the consequences of decision-making are very real and very obvious. The team reflects on each experience and applies the learning to increasingly complex exercises. This type of experiential learning generates personal and group insights in ways that no other form of training can.

 

 

 

 



The course is ideal for all types of groups, including professional businesses, nonprofit organizations, schools, clubs, sports teams, and families. Programs can be designed for groups as small as 8 participants or as large as 100. Off site we offer a range of portable activities at the location of your choice. The course is available to be reserved seven days a week.

On- or off-site, your safety is uppermost in our minds. All Peninsula College Challenge Course facilitators have gone through a 40-hour core training program, with specific instruction on each element. In addition, our staff is trained in First-Aid, CPR, and High Rescue procedures and are recertified in all training and rescue elements, the Challenge Course goes through an annual course inspection as well. Facilitators are also provided with ongoing in-house training.
