Join us for the GRAND OPENING of the
High Ropes Challenge Course on
Saturday, September 28th, 2pm - 5pm
FREE COMMUNITY EVENT
The high ropes elements slated for construction in early September 2019 will be an exciting and dynamic addition to B.E.A.R.'s Ropes Challenge Course at Hieronymus Park in Hamilton. With 4 traversing elements, 2 vertical elements (including a climbing wall), 1 leaping element and 1 swinging element, this course will offer varying levels of challenge and ample opportunity to develop and test your strength, endurance, and courage.
During the community event, in the interest of safety, time, and optimal participant experience, we are offering limited spots for those wanting to try out the high elements. Three groups will be formed, each with a specific start time to keep things running smoothly. Adults and children ages 10 and older are able to use the high elements at this time. Pre-registration is required. Please call/text or email Katie DeFelice at 612-695-1546 or katie.defelice@bearmt.org to register for the high ropes. Start times TBD.
Facilitation on the low ropes, ground elements, and games will be available to all participants throughout the event and pre-registration is not required. All children and adults are welcome.
ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL NEED TO HAVE A PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN SIGN A LIABILITY WAIVER PRIOR TO USING THE COURSE, IF UNDER AGE 18. ADULTS MUST SIGN A WAIVER, AS WELL.
For your convenience, you may download a waiver here to bring to the day of the event signed. Waivers will also be available on the day of the event at the welcome table.

The Ropes Challenge Course at Hieronymus Park is a big accomplishment for B.E.A.R. and our Bitterroot Valley community. This course represents community collaboration, vision, and charity at its strongest, and starting Spring 2019 it will be open to the community for group facilitation by appointment.
- Facilitations on the course typically focus on team building, communication, leadership, and choice, and can be tailored to meet the goals of your group.
- Time slots are flexible from 10am - 6pm and can be scheduled Monday - Saturday from Memorial Day to the end of September, and possibly later, depending on weather conditions.
- Groups run for 3 hours, though we can shorten the time to meet your needs.
- Flat rate facilitation fee of $189 per group.
- Scholarships are available for up to 50% of facilitation fee.
- All participants are required to sign a waiver before participating in any activities on the course.
- Groups of any size are welcome to participate from schools, churches, clubs, businesses, organizations or other community groups. Larger groups may require two facilitators and may be split into smaller groups during the facilitation to maximize the experience of participants.
- The minimum age limit for the course is 8 years old, but keep in mind that participants must be able to follow directions, including safety instructions, and age limits may be higher for the high ropes elements. If you have children under the age of 8 in your group, please let Katie know when making your reservation and we can discuss how best to accommodate you.
- All fees collected from the ropes course are directly reinvested in maintenance, curriculum development, staff training, equipment, and other ropes course related expenses.
