COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This session allows the skilled challenge course practitioner to review and add to their foundation of technical skills. Emphasis is on practicing and improving technical skills while developing what we call a “quiet competence” as an adventure practitioner.
At the beginning of the first day participant’s specific needs will be assessed and then factored into the daily agenda. The content of this workshop builds upon the content from Beyond Basics Level 2 workshop and also provides a framework for you to review and prepare for the Level 2 Challenge Course Certification testing. (Testing is optional and requires separate registration).

Course Description:
If you have taken a Level 1 training in the past, you may be able to identify areas of your skills that could use some updating and refreshing. High 5’s Skill Refresher: Level 1 Review is an opportunity to review essential skills that are taught at Level 1 training that focus on facilitated challenge course operations (as opposed to Adventure Parks and Zip Tours), without the need to repeat the entire workshop.
This refresher will reinforce the fundamental operational skills needed to effectively run standard challenge course elements and maintain an educationally sound adventure program. Emphasis is on practicing and improving technical skills. At the beginning of the first day, participants will have the opportunity to identify their most significant needs in terms of content review, and that co-generated list will form the basis of the training agenda.
This workshop will help you prepare and review for the Level 1 Challenge Course Practitioner Certification Exam. (Testing is optional: you must register for an exam separately.)
