As an academic program, we primarily teach ropes course classes for UNC students while also accommodating a few campus groups. Our offerings to outside groups are limited and generally involve either youth development programs or special needs clients. Questions may be referred to Dr. Jim Stiehl at 970-351-1417 or jim.stiehl@unco.edu.
