CP3 Outing day

Friday 19 Oct 2012, 09:00 → 18:00 Europe/Brussels

Aventure Parc Wavre

For this special outing day, we will go to the Adventure Parc in Wavre. After some fun in the trees, we will have lunch and a brainstorming session in the afternoon.
Note that a normal physical shape is enough to be able to complete the activity. The difficulty level is progressive but you can stop whenever you want... and if you are afraid, your colleagues will be there to help!
Take comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes. Everyone is provided with an outfit. Think about taking a jacket if it's rainy weather.
Security: Say goodbye to karabiners that you had to move from tree to tree. Now, you are permanently fastened to the security cable by an unfastenable pulley. All this under the watchful eyes of our instructors.

1 Welcome

Outdoor activity: courses in the trees

The courses are meant to be progressive and adapted to everyone. Whether you are not very fit or an athlete, everyone should get something out of their activities in the park.

More than tree climbing, you can complete the courses again and again in total freedom of time and pace.

You complete the courses in the right order, for your liking, and you can prolong the fun by seeking adventure again on the same courses.

Awaken your adventurous spirit in the middle of the country. Try your hand at Tarzan swings, cross rope bridges, grab the ropes, climb the nets…

An unfastenable pulley goes with you along the whole course and it will move forwards according to your own moves. Some instructors stay on the ground to give you advice and help you overtake the various obstacles.
