Edge Reviews

Here is what some recent clients had to say about us:
  • “I enjoyed figuring out the challenges with my group. Particularly the rope web where we had to lift members through.” “
  • “I was watching [the students] struggle through different challenges. It was also great to see who became leaders at different challenges.”
  • “The students really loved the tower – and I loved getting to do it myself for the first time! (I’ve gone many times with the 6th-graders.)”
  • “We all enjoyed the alpine tower most because it was the most exciting, challenging, and engaging.”
  • “We had some conflict, but it was all good conflict (disagreements we effectively communicated through).”
  • “Again, [our facilitator] was fabulous! Some of the other leaders could really use seeing her leadership style and the way she interacts with and guides the kids.”

Community Service with The EDGE

The 1.2mi Piedmont Trail circles the EDGE challenge course and is open year round to the public. We rely on volunteers to help us keep this trail maintained through quarterly trail maintenance events, collaborations with Scout troops and eagle scout projects. Join us in our stewardship efforts. We hope to see you there!
