USU Ropes Course Open House

USU Ropes Course Open House

Friday, June 3

11:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Come and enjoy light refreshments and see the course in action! See how effective a ropes course experience can be at increasing the spirit of teamwork and employee morale in your department or organization.

In these tough economic times, employees are being asked to do more with less. Low morale and distrust of colleagues can result and ultimately tear work teams apart.

Help your department prevent these damaging issues with a unique teambuilding experience at the USU Ropes Course. The unique challenge activities, combined with the debriefing that follows, can be tailored to meet your department’s specific goals and achieve the desired outcomes.

If you can’t join us on Friday, June 3, please call me and I will be happy to give you a personal tour any time. Visit our web site for driving directions and more information at www.ropes.usu.edu.

Sincerely,

Patrick Bentley
