Challenge Courses foster team development, leadership and personal growth within a group setting. Using a series of fun and engaging outdoor learning activities, participants strengthen relationships, improve communication, and develop their leadership skills and abilities.
 The 4-H Challenge Program can be tailored to benefit the mission of any group it serves, such as:
- Schools (public or private)
- Youth organizations
- Adults who work with youth
- Leadership groups
- Treatment programs
- Work training programs
- Government and business groups that work with youth
Our nine-element Low Course is built in the beautiful forest setting of Gibbs Lake Park in Jefferson County, Washington.
 Challenge by Choice:
Participants are encouraged to take risks in Challenge programs, such as
trying a new behavior or an unfamiliar activity. With the support of
the group, these perceived challenges can be successfully overcome.
However, it is ultimately the participant who decides their level of
involvement. The minimum grade and age level for participation is 5h
grade and age 10.
