The Outdoor Retreat Center provides dynamic learning opportunities for FSCJ students, faculty and staff, as well as the larger community we serve. We are committed to experiential education through the responsible use of the outdoors as a dynamic classroom.

Low Ropes Challenge Course

The challenge course is offered as a one-day or one-half-day low ropes team-building challenge for groups of 8-14 people. Our customized program’s primary value lies in enabling small groups to discover what is required to build and maintain effective teams specifically designed to provide a series of physical and mental challenges for use in developing the following skills:

• Trust and Cooperation • Communication • Problem Solving

• Decision Making • Leadership • Team Building • Self-Esteem Enhancement

Team Building

We offer interactive team-building workshops for groups of 20-30 individuals. Participants will have a challenging and enjoyable experience where they will be engaged in the process of working together as a team to solve problems. The ropes course challenge can be added as an additional option for smaller breakout groups.

Retreats

Building rentals are available for retreats or workshops. Resources include overhead projectors/screens, slide projectors and flip chart stands. Overnight accommodations will be available soon.
