In October 2017, the Eagle Crest Adventures facilitating team passed out a questionnaire to more than 100 participants attempting our high ropes program. Below are some of the best responses to the final question.

As a result of today, one thing I plan to do differently in my everyday life:

• Keep pressing the envelope and pushing forward.
• Attack more goals with confidence.
• Lead more.
• Be more inspirational.
• Try new things.
• Appreciate life.
• Believe more in myself.
• Be more honest.
• Take risks.
• Stop telling myself I can’t do things.
• Be more outgoing.
• Know that I can do more than I feel I can.
• Take life one step at a time.
• I plan to try new things and not be scared.
• Try things that are scary and I may not have tried before. Thank you!
• Push through tasks.
• Encourage others.
• Challenge myself more.
• Look at hard things differently.
• Help others more.
• Be more positive.
• Be a little more adventurous.
• Get out of my comfort zone.
• Reach higher.

One time a youth leader called me three years after a high ropes event to tell me that one of students was dramatically changed after doing our high ropes program. His grades improved. He rose up to become a student leader. He was willing to step out of his fear and try.

Outcomes are not guaranteed, but I believe it is well worth the try! Email me at adventure@lakewilliamson.org, and we can set up a day event or overnight retreat for your group.  To learn more about high ropes programs, click here.
