Challenge Course

The Challenge Course at Augusta University is designed to develop and empower individuals and teams through a series of engaging and challenging activities that promote personal growth, enhance teamwork, and foster a sense of community.

About Our Challenge Course

Our course features a series of high and low elements made of cables, logs, and ropes that participants navigate through, either as a group or individually. This course combines mental and physical challenges that require teamwork to accomplish goals. Through a series of fun and unique activities, participants gain valuable insights about themselves, each other, and the group as a whole. By stepping out of their usual environment and into a new, unique setting, participants experience shared learning, openness, and cooperation. 

 

Important Notice: The CORE Construction and Renovation Updates

We are excited to announce that our facility will be undergoing construction and renovations this summer, starting on Memorial Day and expected to be completed by the end of August. During this period, our programming and availability will be affected, and we kindly ask for your patience and understanding. Despite these changes, we will continue to operate, albeit with some adjustments.

The renovations are aimed at enhancing our facilities to provide an even better experience for our students and guests. As a result, certain areas may be temporarily inaccessible, and some activities might be modified or relocated to accommodate the construction work.

Our team is committed to ensuring that we can still offer engaging and safe programs and rentals throughout the renovation period. We will keep you updated with any changes that might affect operations.

What to Expect: 

  • Modified Hours of Operation: Our hours of operation will be adjusted to accommodate the construction schedule. Updated hours will be posted on our website and social media channels.
  • Limited Access to Certain Areas: Certain areas of our building will be inaccessible during the renovation. We will provide clear signage and directions to help you navigate the changes.
  • Noise and Disruption: Please be aware that there may be increased noise and disruption during construction hours. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience. 

 How to Stay Informed:

  • Website Updates: Visit our website regularly for the latest information on programming changes, relocation details, and updated hours of operation.
  • Social Media: Follow us on social media for real-time updates and announcements.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
 
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to improve our facilities. Our goal is to create a better environment for all our students and visitors, and we are committed to maintaining the quality of our services during this transition. 
 
Thank you for your support!
