I was certified as a Ropes Course Instructor. My responsibilities included the upkeep and maintenance of the facility's rope course. I held therapeutic groups on the ropes course where the focus included building trust, team work, & building confidence. I also interacted with many outside groups, as I marketed for our facility in order to bring outside groups in that included cooperate teams, athletic teams, FFA team members, small business, and even families. The main focus was always trust & team building with these groups. I was also responsible for planning activities to keep the clients busy during down time in the evenings.
