Challenge Course: Group Leader

The group leader is the person who makes the reservation, coordinates with the group, and relays necessary information to the group. Use this page as a resource to answer any questions you have. Please use the participants page to prepare your group for their upcoming challenge course. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact our offices by either email at mmcbride@georgiasouthern.edu or by phone at (912) 478-5436. We look forward to working with you and your group and thank you for your interest in our programming.

Cancelation and Weather

Low Challenge Course Weather Cancelations

Most low challenge course reservations have both indoor and outside space reserved, making a rain- out less likely. Reservations made with shorter notice or during peak RAC hours may not get an indoor rain-out location.

In the case of not having indoor space available, programming will be canceled for rain, snow, wet conditions, thunder, lightning, and/or tornado. If your course is canceled due to weather, we will work to the best of our ability to reschedule.

High Challenge Course Weather Cancelations

High challenge course programming will be canceled for rain, snow, wet conditions, thunder, lightning, and/or tornado. If your course is canceled due weather, we will work to the best of our ability to reschedule.

Group Cancelation

If a group has to cancel, Southern Adventures should be contacted as soon as possible. We understand that it can be difficult to get all of your group members to fully commit. We ask that if you become aware that your group can’t meet the participant minimum of 10, you contact us as soon as possible.
