InterChallenge Confidence Course

A unique concept in the world, the InterChallenge is not a playground but a series of confidence course events that flow together to provide fun challenges and fitness gains for older children and teenagers. Each event is seven metres long, to suit the 'adult' size of many 10+ kids. Waiting decks encourage socialisation and conversation.

Who is it for?

Children aged 10 to 14.

Benefits

• Improved strength, coordination, fitness and confidence are by-products of playing.
• While fitness trails are perceived as 'work' by this age group, confidence courses where events are linked to make a circuit are regarded as fun and promote the invention of games.
• The transiting/resting decks that link events are large enough to allow children to socialise.
• Each event is seven metres in length, to sufficiently challenge older children who often have almost adult-size bodies.
• Individual events can be used as part of the school's fitness curriculum.
• Children who are growing rapidly can be injured by repetitive exercises, so events are arranged to vary the load on the body.
• The design of the equipment makes it difficult for children to race one another, which helps to prevent injuries.
• Our consulting service ensures that the InterChallenge confidence course we design for you will suit your requirements and your budget.

Construction

• The subdued colours of the equipment are suited to this age group, who perceive bright colours to be for "little kids".
• Transparent metal mesh climbing wall is graffiti-proof and ensures that children can always see who's on the other side - an important security factor for girls.
• Polymer handholds on the climbing wall are industry-standard.
• Durable materials and quality construction methods ensure many years of fun.
