C.O.P.E. Course

The C.O.P.E. (Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience) program is composed of group initiative games, trust events, and low or high-course events. Some activities involve a group challenge, while others develop individual skills and agility. Participants will be able to devise solutions to a variety of challenges as a team or as individuals.

Goals and Objectives:
While each project C.O.P.E. course is unique and each person who experiences it has individual objectives, the C.O.P.E. program emphasizes seven major goals:

• Communication
• Teamwork
• Decision Making
• Trust
• Problem Solving
• Leadership
• Self-esteem

The events and activities for C.O.P.E. are not designed to be competitive or a race against time, but rather are intended to encourage participants to do their best. This program provides an opportunity for every participant to succeed as an individual and as a member of a team.

The Participants:
The stimulating activities and events of Project C.O.P.E. are designed to meet the needs of people of all ages who are seeking ways to challenge and expand their physical and mental abilities. While the goals and objectives of Project C.O.P.E. are intended for scouting youth, the great scope and flexibility of the program make it appropriate for any business, organization, agency, or school district. The C.O.P.E. program can meet many needs of scouting and the community.

Accommodations and Fees: Arrangements can be made for on-site camping at Camp Perry or a local hotel in Harlingen. C.O.P.E. course fees will vary on the size of the group and also on how much time is needed for the program.
