| | Built in 1996, Peninsula College Challenge Course has established a strong reputation for consistently providing safe, high-quality programs that produce outstanding results. Located outside at the back of the Port Angeles campus, in the privacy of large standing timber, the course features both low and high elements. Low elements are on or close to the ground, while high elements range from 20 to 35 feet in the air. The heart of Peninsula College Challenge Course is learning by doing. Participants progress through a graduated series of exercises that require four critical elements: joint effort, good planning, efficient use of resources and communication. Because actions and outcomes occur in quick succession, the consequences of decision-making are very real and very obvious. The team reflects on each experience and applies the learning to increasingly complex exercises. This type of experiential learning generates personal and group insights in ways that no other form of training can. |
