ACCESSIBLE AND UNIVERSAL CHALLENGES FOR ALL

Pacific Adventure Learning and the UBC Ropes Course is able to create universal adventure based learning programs designed to fully integrate people from the entire spectrum of physical and emotional abilities. Challenges will not be the same for all, but they will be available to all participants.

Our course was specially designed in partnership with Professor Don Rogers Ph.D., CTRS, Indiana State University where he coordinates the Recreation Therapy emphasis and directs the challenge course program. He is Chair of the Association for Challenge Course Technology Universal and Accessible Design Committee, and Director of Universal Facilitation Training for Alpine Towers International, Inc.

Our course and washroom facility is wheelchair accessible. We have high elements specifically designed for accessibility and our ground initiatives are easily modified for all ages and abilities. Please contact Pacific Adventure Learning for more information on our accessible services.

“One of the best experiences I have had working at the ropes course would be an accessible day we had for False Creek residents. It is extremely rewarding and humbling to watch persons with disabilities experience the ropes course. The appreciation expressed is genuine and fear and inability are left at the gate.”
~ Courtney Szto (Sr Facilitator)
