Big Dawg Challenge Course

The Big Dawg Challenge Course is a leadership workshop consisting of ropes and cables with various challenges. Our course is a series of problem-solving experiences that physically and mentally engage teams to develop and execute a plan. The activities encourage cooperation, communication and problem-solving skills, leading to mutual support and trust within a group. Each challenge draws on every team member's contribution (ideas, support, and effort) to achieve the goal.

Goals of the Big Dawg Challenge Course

The course also promotes calculated risk-taking, enhances leadership and management skills, facilitates organizational change, and helps build effective teams.
