Class Description: This class combines storytelling and improvisation with an Outdoor Challenge Ropes Course! Using problem solving scenarios which must be “acted” out, students explore what it means to trust themselves, trust others, and collaborate in groups.

# of Students: 10-14. 1 professional teaching artist, 1-2 MSCR staff, and 1 Teaching Assistant Intern.

Experience Expectations: We welcome students of all experience and ability levels to register though this program is tailored for beginners.

Location Information: This program will take place at the MSCR Kennedy Park Challenge Course, which is located adjacent to Kennedy Park on Madison’s Eastside. CTM families may NOT use the parking lot of Kennedy Elementary, not even for drop off/pickup quickly. Instead, families should pick up/drop off on Coach House Drive. Pick up/Drop off will happen at the MSCR Welcome Center.
