Who We Are

ChallengeWorks is a self-sustaining part of the Department of Kinesiology and Sport Management in the College of Education and Human Development at Texas A&M University. We provide experience-based learning opportunities led by experienced facilitators. The programs take place at ChallengeWorks’ challenge course and customization is available for a mobile version anywhere on campus or off-site (schools, corporate locations, etc.) Our programs are tailored to fit your group’s specific needs and objectives.

Challenge Course


The ChallengeWorks facility is an outdoor wooded area that has been designed to offer a wide variety of challenges for groups and individuals. The programming consists of large group ground activities and low and high elements activities. (Not all elements may be included in a program).

Our low elements build off what is developed during the ground activities involving group problem-solving on or near the ground. The high elements provide additional high challenges 30 to 50 feet off the ground.
