The UBC ROPES COURSE
At The University of British Columbia

The UBC Ropes Course is operated in partnership - between The University of British Columbia and Pacific Adventure Learning (PAL).

Pacific Adventure Learning (PAL) invites you to come learn in a unique, dynamic, and safe environment at the UBC Ropes Course. Our active and highly engaging program allows participants to learn within a group of peers while being challenged by situations that require creativity, group cohesion, and social responsibility in order to succeed.

Pacific Adventure Learning (PAL) is one of Western Canada's largest experiential training and consulting companies. PAL's creative and personable staff makes the company a formidable entity in the team building and leadership development industry. PAL offers customized programs for any group wanting to engage in experiential learning. If the outdoor ropes course isn't quite what your group is looking for, we also bring experiential learning to your boardroom, classroom, gymnasium, park or corporate retreat. We make teams work.

“I firmly believe that Pacific Adventure Learning offers groundbreaking programs adaptable to each specific client. Children, and corporate executives for that matter, are given the opportunity to bond and interact with one another in the challenging setting of our UBC ropes course. Skills like communication, trust and teamwork, which are so often hidden in our normal environments, are brought to the forefront on our course.”
~ Steve Hainsworth (Senior Facilitator)

WHAT IS A ROPES/CHALLENGE COURSE?

Ropes courses, also known as challenge courses, use the physical outdoors, and both perceived and actual risk to develop group cohesion, leadership skills, effective communication and critical thinking. A ropes course acts as a catalyst to achieve results. The environment forces people to work together, to trust each other, and to think creatively in safe, supported situations. Teams learn how to work together and become reliable teammates, while individuals enhance self-esteem and learn to push their own self-created boundaries.

“The greatest part of the PAL ropes course is the chance to be the best version of yourself. We have people who have never met before and people who have worked together for 20 years, but on the ropes course, they all get a chance to be different. All the things they've messed up in life or the problems at work are left at the front gate and everybody gets a fresh start, if only for a few hours. I think that is the best part about the PAL course.”
~ Jason Ashley (Senior Facilitator)
