What is PEAK Performance?

Furman's PEAK Performance Ropes Course consists of a series of outdoor physical and mental challenges, noncompetitive games and problem-solving adventures, generally performed on low and high-ropes elements. To undertake and successfully meet these challenges, each team member must demonstrate mutual respect and trust, clear thinking, open communication, planned experimentation, and other team interactions. The result is a substantial boost in group cooperation and performance.

How will your group benefit?

PEAK Performance is a sequence of increasingly complex and challenging activities designed to increase individual and group knowledge. Teams address issues such as control, communication, conflict, authority and individual listening skills in a nonjudgmental way. Confonting such issues allows team members to identify the barriers that inhibit performance and explore solutions that enhance productivity.

PEAK Performance is all about people, energy, action, and knowledge. We take your people, pump up their energy level, and spur them on to action. By challenging them, we increase their knowledge of themselves and of the team. In the process, we emphasize the importance of team synergy - and having fun.
