Check Tilikum Schedule for Challenge Course Openings

Tilikum's Challenge Course is a collection of ropes, cables, wooden beams, tires, and logs assembled to present activities for the purpose of individual and group growth and discovery.

The structures (normally referred to as "elements") made from these materials are placed anywhere from ground level to 123 feet up in the trees. Our course is located in an impressive stand of 100-year-old Douglas fir trees. Our indoor facility -- styled after a Northwest Indian longhouse -- also allows us to run year-round programs. Our course was originally built by Project Adventure Inc. and has been maintained by Synergo, a leader in the field of challenge course facilitation,construction, training, and inspection.

Your group will learn by doing, and through the process of experience, discover your potential for growth in the areas of: 

Your experience may include games, initiatives, low elements that focus on group trust and teamwork, or high elements designed to challenge individuals, teams or groups within a controlled risk environment.  Participants on the high elements are required to wear harnesses and helmets and are connected to a pulley system.  All challenge course activities are designed and presented with a great consideration for your psychological, emotional and physical safety.
