“THANKS, for all your help arranging the ropes course for our Staples High School boys varsity team on Friday. It was a fantastic event – exactly what I’d hoped for. There was an excellent focus on leadership, communication, teamwork and camaraderie. The guys went far out of their physical and emotional comfort zones, but they did so knowing they were well supported. They took a giant step forward as competitors and young men.

We had a wonderful leader. She was energetic, totally engaged, positive, demanding, clever, flexible and fun. She quickly grasped who was who, what was needed, and how to deliver a top-level program.” - Dan, head coach, Staples High School boys soccer, Westport, CT
