Activities offered include:
 |
The Building Zone |
 |
This is a low obstacle course in our on-site old growth forest.
Permanent obstacles are entwined with supplied props: thick ropes,
boards, ladders and other odds and ends. The building zone is where
kids and parents mingle on the weekends. During the week, corporate
or school groups work together building suspended routes in the forest
or just play on the existing structures. |
 |
 |
 |
High Obstacle Course |
 |
It is built using cables, ropes, logs and steel that are suspended
30-40 feet up in the air, complete with a 100 foot zip line. This
course is for the adrenalin seeker. The focus of this challenge is
to promote confidence, trust and communication between the participants.
This event is very popular with spectators. |

Outdoor Climbing Wall |
 |
Climbing and rappelling offers something for everyone. Solid granite
makes for solid ground while highly trained staff support and comfort
all levels of participants. For those who are more advanced, BC Extreme
is located twenty minutes south of Squamish, one of the premier rock
climbing destinations in North America. The primary feature of Squamish
is The Stawamus Chief, which features a 600m face, the Grand Wall,
on which many spectacular climbs are situated. |
