School field trip, Classic Course
What it actually looks like
What the children do
A field trip on the Classic Course, for school groups of 15 or more on the same course, ages 5 to 18. The course has three levels of obstacles that get higher and harder as students work up it, and the whole run takes 90 to 120 minutes. The minimum height is 4 feet 8 inches, or 142 cm, and the maximum weight is 300 lbs. Students shorter than that go on the Kids Course instead, and groups are often split across both. The rate is from $34.99 a student plus tax and is lowest Monday to Thursday. They say to plan on a half day, with the exact timing worked out by the group host once they know the numbers and arrival time.
Train on the ground first, then climb a ladder into the trees and work along tightropes, cargo nets, swinging logs and ziplines, moving up through three levels as they get more confident. Guides walk underneath and talk anyone who freezes through the next bit, or bring them down.
Good to know
Outdoors from start to finish, with picnic tables, snacks for sale and free parking at the Q Centre. No wet weather alternative and no washrooms mentioned on the site, so both are worth asking about when you book.
