MORE THAN A ROPES COURSE

We’ve been asking youth who visit Stowe Heights a simple question:

“What did you enjoy the most and why?”

Their answers have been too good not to share.

Over the next several weeks, we’ll be highlighting some of what youth have told us—in their own words.

Because what happens here is about more than ropes and obstacles. It’s about confidence, teamwork, connection, courage, support, and discovering what you’re capable of.

A little encouragement can make a big challenge feel possible.

At Stowe Heights, Iowa youth are learning that they are capable of more than they think. That's why we are so grateful to Greater Iowa Credit Union for donating to support experiential learning, keeping these opportunities accessible for youth in our community.

Thank you Great Day ABA for choosing Stowe Heights!

We loved having NAWIC Greater Des Moines at Stowe Heights! Strong, determined, competitive—and incredibly supportive of one another and of the work we do. We’re still feeling the love they brought to Stowe Heights yesterday. And yes… We love a little friendly competition at Stowe Heights… 👀🏆 Stay tuned.
Corporate groups, you may have something new to compete for soon.

Some experiences are better felt than explained.

Stowe Heights is one of them.

From climbing and problem-solving to encouragement, laughter, and breakthrough moments, every group has a different experience—and that's what makes it so special.

Come see it for yourself at our Open House this Thursday from 4:30–6:00 PM. Tour the course and even experience the first level of the high course if you would like!

Can't make it Thursday? We'd still love to connect.

Reach out to learn how Stowe Heights can create a customized experience for your school, youth group, nonprofit, or team.

Sometimes the best way to understand... is to experience it.
