Project C.O.P.E. incorporates a series of outdoor challenges designed to foster problem solving and teamwork in a group setting. At Baiting Hollow Scout Camp, the focus is on fun filled challenges. Most people find that they can do much more than they initially thought. By the end of the program, participants learn more than they ever expected. All activities are “Challenge by Choice.” Everyone is encouraged by staff and team members, but no one is forced to participate in the activities. For ages 13 and up.
