Achieve the balance between technical skills and thoughtful program development and facilitation to create the best and most powerful experience for your audience.

This new book by veteran High 5 staff members, Jim Grout & Nicki Hall, begins with the question, "Why does your program do what it does?" In classic High 5 style, it emphasizes the importance of understanding ones program, its mission and purpose, and its goals and desired outcomes.

This valuable resource also includes:

• Thoughtful and Purposeful Program Development
• Program Design Tips
• Staff Development and Training
• Risk Management and Liability
• Operating Guidelines for Over 50 Low and High Challenge Course Elements
