Big Dawg Challenge Course

The Big Dawg Challenge Course is an outdoors, low-ropes workshop designed for groups of all ages. It includes a series of problem-solving experiences that physically and mentally engage teams to develop and execute a plan. Each challenge draws on every team member's contribution (ideas, support, and effort) to achieve the goal. We host academic groups, businesses, athletic teams, and many more. Call the Outdoor Adventures Center at 662-325-3633 to schedule your group.
