C.O.P.E. - Home
Project C.O.P.E. (Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience) starts with initiative games, and continues with low and high course activities. Some activities involve a group challenge, while others test individual skills and agility. Participants climb, swing, balance, jump, rappel, and think of solutions to a variety of situations. Most do much more than they ever thought possible.
Project C.O.P.E. is an exciting outdoor activity that can be used to attract and hold members in a group. It offers a set of stimulating activities designed to meet the needs of the people who are seeking greater challenges to their physical and mental abilities.
