The experience
Trust and communication in crossing a marked fence line without touching it
The aim of the challenge is for the entire team to cross from one side of the fence to the other without touching the fence line. There are two variations of this challenge a more basic and the more advanced, both are great for developing teamwork and trust.
What makes this game interesting is that even though one player goes over the rope at a time, the other team members can help any way they want. Once a person is over the fence, however, he or she must stay over the fence and not come back around to help anyone.
