Have you wanted to sign up your group - but want to see what the hype is all about?
This COMMUNITY Adventure is for you. We want to give an opportunity for individuals to come out and experience our programming. We could sit here and describe how we achieve impactful results to future employees, or a prospective clients. However, from 40 years of experience, we KNOW that it is far more effective to simply go through the process, and have the experience yourself. Read on for more information, and reserve your spot!!
Why do we do it? At Challenge Discovery we believe in learning by having powerful experiences. Adventure is our classroom! So we provide highly engaging and fun experiences, filled with personal and team challenges to help people learn about themselves and about each other. This experience day is about having a great experience for yourself - it's important to meet new people, learn about ourselves, and give ourselves time to be challenged and have fun! This will be the best way to inform you about whether we might be a great place for you to work, or a great experience for your youth class, group or team!
What is it? Attendees will be lead through an impactful experience, closely reflecting our Team Odyssey program. Groups will experience a variety of ground-based problem-solving initiatives, along with high ropes course elements and challenges.
When is it? We have several experience days scheduled throughout the year, so find the one that best fits with your schedule! It will last from 8:30am-1pm.
What will we be doing? We will begin by framing our day on the ground, followed by putting on our equipment, and then climbing and challenging ourselves in the ropes course! Feel free to reach out if you have more specific questions!
What is an example of a high ropes challenge? The initiatives we take on might look something like this: work to get through the challenge ahead by walking on boards and cables, while being clipped above into the ropes course. Can you do it without holding onto anything with your hands? Work to get there by yourself. Now, work to get across the next element with a partner! Take a look at the sample schedule below to see how the day will be broken up.
What is the age limit? This experience day is designed for adults interested in working for Challenge Discovery, or curious about our programming in general.
Where is it? Address: 1600 UR Drive, Henrico, VA 23229. It is suggested to ONLY use the address listed for your GPS, along with the campus map and parking pass (found in the Participant Information Download). Held at the Odyssey High Ropes Course on the University of Richmond campus.

What is the inclement weather policy?
We will continue with programming, rain or shine. Very rarely will we cancel a single day of programming. We MIGHT cancel the day of programming if the forecast suggests a high likelihood (95%-100% chance) of the following conditions: lightning storms; a combination of temperatures below 50°s, moderate to severe rain and/or moderate to severe sustained wind. However, in this event, we will find other space on campus to experience the ground-based challenges, and hope for a break in the weather in order to climb. You will be notified via email no later than 2 days prior to the program start time if the day is cancelled.
**IMPORTANT NOTE: The only reason that Challenge Discovery will cancel is if the enrollment does not fill to a reasonable amount to have a community day. You will be notified no less than 24 hours prior to the start date.
