1. What is the Challenge Course?

The Challenge Course at James Island County Park offers adventure-based learning opportunities for those who want to discover more about themselves, inspire others, and grow as an individual or as a team.

The Challenge Course is available to book for a custom program or you can sign up for one of our open enrollment programs.

We offer custom programs, seven days per week from 7 a.m.- 7 p.m. depending on sunrise and sunset. Generally, these programs are booked in advance for staffing and scheduling. We recommend booking at least 3 weeks in advance.

6. What happens if it's a rainy day?

It depends! Generally, programs can work around weather concerns. Sometimes, we can just delay to start time by an hour or start an hour earlier.

If and when the weather begins to be a risk management issue or if it’s just going to be a miserable experience for our group that day, we’ll reschedule or cancel the program. We generally don’t make these decisions till the day of the program, sometimes 24 hours out. 

If a program needs to happen rain or shine, we’ll schedule a backup indoor prop-based teambuilding plan often at the Edisto Hall or Conference Center at James Island County Park for that group during the booking process.
