About
The Basler Team Challenge and Aerial Adventure Course is a state of the art low and high ropes challenge course. The course offers a full range of ground-level team building initiatives, and a series of aerial challenges ranging from easy to difficult between 15 – 45 feet in the air.
Programs are available for the ETSU community, as well as for off-campus and corporate community groups. The Aerial Adventure Course is available during Open Climb hours for use by ETSU students, faculty, staff, and CPA patrons. A valid ETSU I.D. is required to participate in Open Climb.
Outdoor Adventure offers four types of programs ranging from one to five (1-5) hours for organized groups.
1 - 1.5 hours
Low-risk challenges designed to promote group development through initiatives such as ice-breakers, name games, and energizers in an indoor or outdoor field setting, depending on the season. Facilitators tailor activities to meet the expressed group goals and can build in time to debrief activities and their application to a “real life” setting.

Low-risk challenges similar to those of the Express Course with additional physical and mental challenges. Low Challenge Courses provide the foundation for building effective teamwork and problem solving skills, and may include jumping, climbing, and balancing on special wooden/rope structures. Facilitators build in time to debrief activities and how they may have “real life” application.

Challenges utilizing the Basler Team Challenge and Aerial Adventure Course. The High Challenge Course offers the opportunity for participants to stretch their personal physical and mental limits and includes 21 unique climbing, zipping, walking, balancing, and swinging challenges as participants move from one platform to another.
The High Challenge Course includes three levels of challenges between 15 - 45 feet in the air. Facilitators tailor the elements to fit the needs of the group. High Challenge Course activities
typically do not include a debriefing, unless specifically requested by the group, as these challenges are intended for personal challenge and growth rather than group development.
