CHALLENGE COURSE
What is the challenge course?
The UGA Challenge Course is a series of high and low elements comprised of cables, logs and ropes that your group will navigate as a team.
You’ll be coached by our skilled Challenge Course Facilitators along the way; they’ll help you focus on your group goals for the day, then transfer what you’ve learned to your workplace, group or organization.
To schedule, request a program! Half-day, full-day, custom, and multi-day programs are available.
Fees vary depending on group size/classification and program length/type.

Cancellations and refunds
- Groups who cancel at least 10 business days prior to their program will receive a full refund or may transfer their payment to a future program (within 1 year of original program date).
- Groups who cancel within 10 business days of their program date but prior to 72 hours before their scheduled program will receive a refund less a $100 late cancellation fee.
- Groups who cancel within 72 hours of their scheduled program will forfeit their entire registration fee.
- In the event that the University is closed or closes on the date(s) of event, all activities scheduled to take place at Department of Recreational Sports Indoor and Outdoor Facilities, as well as off-site events led by Challenge Course Facilitators will be cancelled. If this situation occurs, the group will be contacted with rescheduling or refund information.
Group Size Modifications
Decreases to group size:
- Groups may decrease the number of participants up to 10 business days prior to their program and receive a refund of the difference.
- Decreases to group numbers made after the 10 business day deadline will be charged based on the number of participants originally scheduled.
Increases to group size:
- Participant safety is our utmost concern. In order to ensure proper staffing ratios based on group size, the group contact should notify the Challenge Course of any increases to original group size as soon as possible.
- If we are able to accommodate a larger group, the group will receive an updated invoice. Payment of the balance must be processed within 1 business week.
Virtual Teambuilding fosters a team environment and provides opportunities for enriching connections with one another. Challenge Course Facilitators guide activites via Zoom that open the door for learning more than just surface level facts about each other while requiring teamwork to solve problems. Virtual Teambuilding is now available for a flat fee of $100 for a 2-hour session. Choose Virtual Teambuilding when requesting a program or contact Cathy Stedman for more information.
