Challenge Discovery’s Team Odyssey at the University of Richmond

Brand new location + brand new idea = the most exciting new thing in bringing people together


Introducing the best new thing to happen to relationship building in years: Challenge Discovery’s Team Odyssey at the University of Richmond! Now middle and high schools, colleges, scout troops, church groups and civic organizations can build stronger connections in a beautiful, easy-to-access location on the University of Richmond campus.

What also makes Team Odyssey so exciting is that it’s unlike any other ropes course program. While ropes courses are traditionally individual events, this one is completely team-focused for lots of group fun. Team Odyssey brings people together so effectively because teams can only succeed by providing the stability and support necessary for completing challenges such as the “Matrix,” “Complex X” and “Lateral Limbo.” Team Odyssey encourages teams to embrace their members, respect each other’s abilities, and come up with a workable plan. In the end, participants surprise themselves by doing more than they thought they could do. At the same time, they learn valuable life lessons about integrity, accountability, leadership and valuing the differences between us.

  • Builds stronger relationships
  • Divides groups into “pods” of up to eight people who take on multiple team challenges from 20-35 feet in the air
  • Simultaneously engages participants on the ground before and after their climb with energizers and initiatives
  • Includes short “review sessions” throughout in which Challenge Discovery facilitators help teams look at their strategies and set goals to make upcoming challenges even more successful
  • Offered two ways to accommodate schedules and budgets: Full Course (8 different events at both levels of the Odyssey Course) or Half Course (4 events at top or bottom level only)
