COPE & Climbing Instructor Training
Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience (aka COPE) and Climbing programs are invaluable in serving the needs of today’s youth through team-building and challenging them to extend their comfort zones. The below trainings are available to youth and adults who would like to extend their knowledge and become certified in running COPE or Climbing activities for their unit or event.
