Our Maximum Adventure Xperience is a series of
activities designed for human development and enrichment
through challenge confrontation. Our safe challenges provide
a supportive environment that results in many beneficial personal
gains. Participants experience group cooperatives, the ropes course,
the "Tall Trees", and the 28 foot climbing tower. Five Pines' staff will work
with each group to create a customized schedule of activities that meet
their specific needs, to enhance their overall experience.
Safety is our number one priority.
Maintaining a safe outdoor adventure program, we must adhere to
strict technical training to be certified facilitators,
have our course/elements inspected annually by an independent organization
to meet all Association for Challenge Course Technology (ACCT) standards,
and have equipment/course inspected before and after each use.
1. Full Value Contract: This signed agreement is designed to govern group behaviors,
encourage positive outcomes, and ensure a safe environment for individual and group discovery.
2. Your Challenge Your Choice: This is our philosophy of giving ownership of the experiential
experience to our guests, which allows them the right to control what they will or will not participate in.
We encourage participants to go beyond their assumed boundaries, which maximizes their growth potential.
3. MAX Evaluation & Follow-Up: Each teacher, chaperone, or para-professional has the opportunity to
fill out an evaluation form throughout the day. This form tracks progress made, gives input to our program,
and records reactions to individual elements/cooperatives, which gives everyone a greater understanding of
the impact of the day. Follow-up is facilitated by a report to the principal or group contact. This report
gives an overview of the effectiveness of our program and includes individual MAX evaluations.
