CLIMBucknell Challenge Course

Student climbing rock wall

The CLIMBucknell Challenge Course at the Cowan Forrest Brown Conference Center features low and high elements, a climbing tower and a zip line. The course is an educational space designed to teach students, faculty, staff and outside groups leadership, group dynamics, risk assessment, safety and, most importantly, something about themselves.

You must make a reservation to use the course. We strongly recommend reservations be made a month in advance in order to arrange for facilitators and to allow time for release forms to be completed by each of the participants.
