Trust Activities are used to bring the group together to realize that a strong group must trust each other. Some of these activities involve leading others, catching controlled falls, and learning how to spot.

Initiatives are challenging activities that occur in a field, in a building, or in the woods on the Low Elements. We call all of these group challenge experiences "initiatives" because through them the group is encouraged to take initiative to figure out a new solution to a strange new challenge. Some are permanent structures and some are portable.
