Description

Operating a challenge course during COVID times requires more than wearing a mask and squirting hand sanitiser between participants. This session will present a holistic overview of the large and small changes that organizations need to make in their delivery of group initiatives, low ropes, high ropes, and climbing wall programs to comply with public health guidance. Be prepared to re-consider everything from your staffing model and participant ratios to the activities you do on a whale watch.
