What is
C.O.P.E.?
C.O.P.E. is an
acronym for
Challenging
Outdoor
Personal
Experience.
The Miakonda experience is comprised of a
series of outdoor challenges, beginning with
basic group intiative warm-up activities and
progressing to more complicated low-course
and high-course activities, often referred to as
“ropes” courses. Some activities require a group
effort, while others emphasize individual skills
and agility. Participants climb, swing, balance,
jump, rappel, and think through solutions to a
variety of challenges, often discovering that they
are capable of much more than they initially
thought.
How can my company or
organization benefit from
participating in C.O.P.E.?
The C.O.P.E. experience is designed to build
personal self esteem as well as enhancing
teamwork skills. Participants learn that each
individual is essential for the team’s success in
completing mentally and physically challenging
tasks. Group members motivate each other,
learning problem solving skills and developing
increasing confidence as they are pushed outside
their comfort zones by each new challenge that
they face. Participants return to their workplaces
and positions
with stimulated
thought processes
and a reinforced
understanding of the
importance of working
together as a team.
Productivity, creativity
and efficiency often
increase, as individuals
approach problem
solving and achieving
desired goals with new
enthusiasm.
“When bringing together individuals to accomplish a goal
it is imperative for these individuals to work collectively as
a team. This is true not only in sports, but in the business
world as well. The quicker the team gels the quicker
the results. To help us speed up the team development,
we have used the C.O.P.E. program at Camp Miakonda.
During a two-week training program we always took the
team to Miakonda in the middle of the program. We
started to notice how the dynamics changed once they
had been through C.O.P.E. For the last two years we have
started the program with Miakonda and have seen the
teamwork start day one. I would recommend the C.O.P.E.
program at Camp Miakonda for anyone who needs to have
a team hit the ground running”.
