Challenge & Team Building Courses

Mount Chandler Climbing Tower

Have you ever wanted to see what you’re made of? If you’re looking to challenge yourself then come and give Mt. Chandler a try. This 55ft. Climbing Tower has three levels of difficulty: beginner, intermediate, and advanced, and even an open face for rappelling. So, lace up climbing shoes, gather your wits and let Camp Chandler’s expert instructors take care of the rest. They will cover all safety rules, harnessing, and climbing instruction before you begin. Let us help you reach new heights!

High Ropes Course

Looking for a little adventure? Then YMCA Camp Chandler’s High Ropes Course is right up your alley. The adventure begins as you scale our cargo net, then you make your way across a suspended log, then it’s on to the burma wire bridge, and finally it’s the ride of your life down through the trees on our 100 ft Zip-Line. This course also offers several other options that are more difficult. The entire course is run and supervised by Camp Chandler’s caring and certified staff. Helmets and harnesses are provided and inspected prior to use. This course represents an excellent opportunity to test oneself in a fun and safe environment.

The Vertical Play Pen and the Pamper Pole

In addition to the High Ropes Course, YMCA Camp Chandler offers two other types of challenges. The Vertical Playpen is a series of cables that form different levels. Each level offers several options for getting to the next level. No two trips up the Vertical Playpen are ever the same. The other adventure known as The Pamper Pole requires participants to don a full-body harness attached to a belay rope and scale a telephone pole. Then from a standing position, the participant leaps for a trapeze hanging in front of them. Whether the trapeze is caught or not, the participant is then safely and slowly lowered to the ground by one of our instructors. Are you ready to take the leap of faith?

The Low Ropes/Team Building Course

If your group is having trouble working together or needs to do a little bonding, then Camp Chandler’s Low Ropes/Team Building Course is the perfect environment. Participants are first broken up into groups of 15 or less. Then, our instructors go through the essential elements of successful teams. These elements are the focus of a series of challenges and events that require group interaction. After each challenge the groups are then debriefed by their instructor about their performance, their strengths, and the areas in which they need to improve. All events are “Challenge by Choice” which means participation is requested for the strength of the team but not required, as some of these events may be outside of an individual’s comfort zone. Working together is an important skill for groups of any size, but it is not a skill that comes naturally. It must be developed and understood and Camp Chandler’s Low Ropes/Team Building course will do just that.
