Reaching beyond one’s comfort zone, building trust, raising self confidence and so much more took place when student veterans participated in the High Ropes Challenge Course (HRCC) at California State University, Northridge. The Institute for Community Health and Wellbeing, Student Veteran Organization and Veterans Resource Center (VRC) provided activities, both on the ground and in the air, that helped form a bond within the group. The event is significant to the student veterans because it is a team-building exercise as well as a self-learning experience.
“The high ropes course is designed to be worked through as a team, therefore we will encourage and motivate each other to succeed,” said CSUN Student Veteran Organization President Art Garcia. “At the same time, the student veterans will accomplish tasks and overcome obstacles meant to challenge and empower the person. This type of activity is great for us to unwind and discover our strengths.” Read the whole story in CSUN Today.
