Deer Run Retreat’s courses are built to ACCT (Association for Challenge Course Technology) standards. Deer Run’s Recreation Guides are trained to operate all guided recreation and team building equipment safely, efficiently, and effectively. In addition to keeping your group members safe, our Recreation Guides will be sure to engage, encourage, and challenge them to work together and think creatively. No matter the guided recreation or team building activity you choose, your Recreation Guide will frame team building and relationship lessons through the lens of Scripture and ensure that everyone has an amazing experience.
In the case of inclement weather, Deer Run Recreation Guides and Camp Directors will use their best judgment to restructure or adjust your scheduled guided recreation and team building activities. Recreation Guides are aware of weather safety guidelines for all activities and equipment. They will ensure that your group has fun and meets their goals no matter the weather.
