Let the Original Ukulele Ropes Course Help You “Sing” Your Team Together!


Of all the team building and risk-taking exercises you could offer, the original Ukulele Ropes Course just may be the“feel good hit of the season.” Imagine you and your staff working together in true harmony as you accentuate the positive, coming together in a symphony of sound. 

Sounds like fun?  That’s our promise.

The Ukulele Ropes Course features all the adventure of classic high ropes courses without the height and danger!  You’ll experience a meaningful team-building exercise while enjoying the reasonable expectation that everyone will make it back alive and that no one will have embarrassed themselves by clinging helplessly to a pole or tree.  No need for remote locations, outrageous expenses, mosquito repellent, special shoes, safety harnesses, or hand-callousing ropes—just your group, a variety of ukuleles (provided), a little bit of music, and as much fun and cooperation as you can muster.

So just what is the Ukulele Ropes Course?

It is a complete, customizable team-building experience that requires NO MUSICAL TRAINING, EXPERIENCE, OR ABILITY whatsoever!  In fact, the less musical experience you have, the better! Because it’s not really about the music as much as it is about learning to work collaboratively towards your goals. And, like any ropes course, it’s also about trust and daring and being able to put yourself out there. 

Using the ukulele as a basis, you’ll form groups and learn several new tasks to create a shared musical vision.  You’ll start out slowly through a series of deliberate, fun Ukulele Ropes Course exercises, building to a surprise ending that will leave you all amazed and impressed with how well you can meet a challenge when you put your “ears” to it.

Why the ukulele?  Well, for one thing, they are really popular, with men and women from ages 8 to  80 buying them in record numbers.  They have a beautiful sound and are fun and easy to play, so it’s sweet music everyone can make.

Each Ukulele Ropes Course is customized for your specific needs.  Offered as either a full morning or full afternoon session, we can also prepare a shorter 90-minute version for your upcoming retreat, planning session or conference. Ideal for groups of twenty or less, we can accommodate any size team.  Ukuleles, music and all paper goods will be provided as part of the Ukulele Ropes Course, so all you have to do is invite us in and let us “do our thing.”

Not your average team-building exercise, you’ll remember the Ukulele Ropes Course for years to come!
