Will I be forced to do things I don't want to do?

What do you do if it rains or snows?

Good question! Our wonderful programs are available 12 months a year; rain or shine. We almost always want to be outside sometime, but we have amazing indoor adventure programming space as well. Your experience won't be hindered just because the weather didn't cooperate. And, we offer special discounts for groups planning retreats in the winter.

What are the Adventure Activities like?

Many of our programs feature events such as the Discovery course experience, indoor climbing walls and exploring our Low Ropes Course. These events may be strenuous, will require physical exertion and be conducted at a height from 10 to 50 feet off the ground. Participants must be able to follow instructions and accept direction from our staff. For all programs we follow a "you choose the challenge" philosophy. We invite our guests to participate at the level that they are most comfortable with. We ask for confidential medical information that helps our staff identify certain conditions that we should know about during your visit. We will do our best to help you make an informed decision as to your degree of participation in that event.

What if I have someone on my team that has a disability or medical condition?

Prior to your arrival, we ask each participant to complete a medical history, so we are aware of any special needs in your group. The staff is well trained, and will remind team members of the physical limitations of each exercise as we go.

Between the nature resources that surrounds us and BRLC's programming resources, we can help you develop an enriching and unique visit and experience for any kind of group.
