Trust Catch Series – This helps to develop the elements of trust in a relationship and how they apply to teams as well as individuals. This activity engages the participants in three different trust falls. The first involves one catcher and one faller. The second has both participants falling backward towards each other, thus acting as the catcher and the faller at the same time. The third involves one person falling with the whole group catching and supporting. A discussion follows the activities of how they demonstrated the needs of trusting relationships, along with the different orientations people may have with trust, and how trust can affect work or personal relationships. Each member of the group may then choose to participate in a fourth activity where they fall backwards, off a platform towards their group.

Bridging the Gap – Ground Initiative - A group is placed on a platform and is instructed to travel to the end of the course without touching the ground. The group would be handed boards of varying lengths, sometimes not long enough to bridge the entire gap alone, and instructed to devise a way to get all team members to the end. This element requires patience, planning, and cooperation to complete.

Spider’s Web – Low Ropes Activity - A group is instructed to pass through a human sized spider web without touching any of the web strands. Once a participant uses an opening to get to the other side it is closed to the rest of the group. This activity requires a lot of trust, cooperation, and “start to finish” planning in order for the group to successfully make it to the other side.

Leap of Faith – High Ropes Activity- A participant will climb a telephone pole to a small platform on top in order to leap off and grab a trapeze that is suspended about six feet in front of them. The participant will have many doubts and fears about their personal capabilities, yet once the trapeze is felt all of these will be erased and replaced with a feeling of achievement and self-belief. This is truly a feeling that will not be forgotten.

Jacob’s Ladder - High Ropes Activity – One of the highest ropes initiatives, requires two teammates to attempt to climb to the top of the giant ladder obstacle. As the climbers get higher the spaces between the logs increase, thus causing the members to really rely on each other in order to get to the top. The logs tend to sway with the climbers progress and they are not allowed to touch or use the side cables. This promotes teamwork and trust as confidence and the will to succeed help teams accomplish a goal they may fear.
