Challenge Education at Earlham

Challenge Education

Challenge Education at Earlham College is operated by the Wilderness Program- one of the oldest and most respected collegiate outdoor education programs in the country. Challenge Education is an experiential leadership and team building program incorporating an extensive 8 acre high and low ropes course located on back campus in addition to an indoor climbing wall in the Athletic and Wellness Center. The program works with adult and school groups both on and off-campus.

What is Challenge Education?

Challenge Education is a sequence of individual and team simulations (what we call initiatives). These initiatives are meant to challenge individuals and teams mentally (through creative problem solving), inter and intra-personally (through trust events and appropriate risk taking) and sometimes physically. All our programs are designed to set participants up for success and are not designed to be purely physical challenges. Participants always have the option to decide what level they would like to participate.
