One unique component of the treatment program is the Challenge Course. MVJRC has a fully equipped ropes course that youth take part in twice each week. There are a total of 56 (28 low course and 28 high course) activities that are tied into the Character Development Curriculum. Each activity is conducted under the direction of trained staff and processed at the end with a corresponding worksheet in the youth's workbook. The Challenge Course activities build communication skills and self confidence and provide visceral experiences that reinforce the more cognitive based lessons of the day.
