Low Course Use Instructions & Training
Watch videos below applicable to your reserved course!
The Low Challenge Course is your group’s unifying opportunity, led by your Leaders with no Senior Missionaries present.
Your group should be able to complete 5 or 6 Low Course activities during a 2 hour session or 3 of the Low Course activities during a one-hour session. See the lists, info and videos below to see what activities are available at your course. Watching the videos should help you choose which activities you would like your group to do. Divide your group evenly to rotate through the courses with a maximum of 10 to 12 youth at each activity.
Eight or nine leaders are needed for a 2 hour session and four to six adult leaders for a 1 hour session depending on the activities you choose to do. Small groups can use the same leaders for each activity if needed and rotate with the group. The rover holds up a sign and goes to each activity to let the leaders know when it's time to start the reflection and when it's time to rotate to the next activity. See the Low Course Leader Sign Up Form for some possible options on how to run those activities.
Any equipment that is needed will be available in a tote at the course. Please return any equipment that is used back to the tote.
We work to keep the challenge course clean and free of garbage. Please leave them this way. Pack in, pack out!
We hope you have a fun, safe, spiritual experience with your group as you enjoy this time together.
Instructions for each activity can be found in the info links below as well as in a plastic box attached to a numbered post at each course. If you use the from the box, please return them to the box.
Low Course Safety
The following is a list of ideas to help the Leader in creating this physically and spiritually safe environment:
Safety is a top priority. If game is not safe, STOP, and find a safer way.
PRAY FOR THE SPIRIT to guide and inspire you.
Clear game area of debris, rocks, sticks, or anything harmful.
Spotting is essential and should always be used per the training on each activity.
These are team activities to help bond your group, please find a way for everyone to participate.
