Villanova Challenge Course

Outdoor adventure is challenging, demanding and fun!
It consists of direct experiences such as group games,
group problems to solve and a unique series of mental
and physical challenges.


Through taking risks, participants gain new personal and interpersonal skills and insights - the basis for growth and change. Activities are safe, stimulating, and occur in an atmosphere of support and caring. Results can be rapid and profound.

Outdoor challenge programs are unprecedented in their success in providing activities focused on teamwork and mutual support.
