Project COPE - The Challenge at Camp Tahosa, Denver Area Council's Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience -- Tahosa Challenge for short.

Tahosa Challenge is part of the National COPE program that encourages youth and adults to expand mental creativity, increase physical abilities, promote leadership skills and instill personal confidence. As a participant you will take the lead in solving "people puzzles" while you swing, jump, climb, lift, balance, rappel and belay yourself and your team through a series of activities of increasing difficulty. By the end of the weekend, you will be amazed at how well you overcame any fear and will approach challenges with the confidence that you can do anything.

Project COPE is geared for the teenager through adults who are ready in size and self-discipline to undergo the rigors of the course. The Challenge is located at the Denver Area Council's high adventure training base, Tahosa, at the foot of the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area. Approximately 20 miles west of Boulder, Colorado, the camp's 300 acres of woodland sits at 9,000 feet in elevation. With comfortable sleeping arrangements, hearty meals prepared by the Challenge staff, and a weekend filled with fun, what more could you ask for?

Requirement:  Scouts must be First Class rank or above and 13 years old by January 1, 2009.  Youth participants will be turned away at check-in if they do not meet the minimum age - NO EXCEPTIONS! This is a National Boy Scouts of America policy.
