TEAM CHALLENGE AND LOW ROPES COURSE At the low challenge course, staff facilitators use a variety of natural and man-made elements, games, and initiatives to help groups and individuals develop trust, cooperation, teamwork and leadership skills. Facilitators utilize a 13-element low ropes course, portable elements, hiking trails and other open spaces to create intellectually and physically engaging outdoor experiences for groups. Each program is individually designed based on a consultation with the client. The minimum age for participation at the low challenge course is 10 years of age, and programs can be designed for persons of differing abilities.

HIGH ROPES COURSE Durham Parks and Recreation’s Discovery Course is a unique experience in personal challenge and high ropes course design. The Discovery Course is full of options, allowing participants to choose their degree of challenge throughout their journey, culminating in a peak experience in the Crow’s Nest, which offers birds-eye views of the surrounding area. A final thrill awaits with the participant’s choice of the giant swing or zip line as the exit off the course. The course is designed to motivate by building self-esteem, encouraging risk- taking, developing respect for individual differences and fostering trust through a common experience.

The Discovery Course is available to the public either through reservations as a group for a team building program, or on the bimonthly “Discovery Days.” For more information and pricing, individuals and groups may call DPR Outdoor Recreation at 919-560-4405 ext. 27347 or visit our website at DPRPlayMore.org or getoutdoorsdurham.blogspot.com.

Why a park foundation? Fundraising and accepting donations Private donors oft en like to give to the private sector because they have more control of how their money will be spent. Durham Grant writing and management Many foundations only accept applications from 501(c)3 non- profi t organizations. Effi ciency and fl exibility Foundation funding would allow for purchasing equipment, hiring PARKS repair crews, and increasing programming opportunities on an as- needed or emergency basis. Foundation Advocacy Volunteers have more freedom to speak out for budget increases, increased security, or in favor of acquiring new parkland, while a parks department works within the city’s adopted priorities. Community ties A non-profi t foundation has strong credibility with residents and local institutions. Consistent leadership A mature nonprofi t conservancy or friends group can sometimes provide more continuous leadership than public offi cials.
