Adventure Bound
Adventure Bound is located in Caratunk, Maine. They offer multiple outdoor activities, including both a high and low ropes course. Bring the family out for some fun on the ropes course or trust-building exercises.
The high ropes element course tests participants mentally and physically. A supportive and safe atmosphere will positively challenge the participant to push through any insecurities. Guides will familiarize each participant with equipment use so they are comfortable and confident with every aspect of the experience.
The low ropes course has six elements that are used by groups to familiarize themselves with elements, practice communication, get acquainted with working with one another, and sharpen their teamwork skills. Every element is done in the group, not by an individual. This allows the group to take advantage of each individual’s strength to benefit the group as a whole.
Scheduling for the ropes courses can be custom-made. A typical full day on the ropes course starts between 8 am and 9 am with orientation. Then your group will move on to field games and warm-up. We will then cycle through the low ropes course, with some people on the course and some eating lunch.
The afternoon consists of conquering the high-ropes course. Partner elements will kick off our time at the high ropes course, and we will end with the giant swing and finally the leap of faith. The day will end between 3 pm and 4 pm.
A half-day at Adventure Bound ropes course starts with orientation, either in the morning or afternoon. We will spend about an hour on the low-ropes course, then head out to the high-ropes course for about two hours.
