This podcast is full of great ideas and has enhanced my challenge course programming. Thank you Phil!
This podcast is on my constant rotation. I’be been working at camps for about 9 years and I lean new things when I listen to this podcast and I get reminders of things I forgot or haven’t given much thought to- valuable listening experience
Hi I’m leah and me and my school/grade went to high-5 last week! They might not remeber me but I over-came my fear about hights! And they also got my teacher to do it! Loved the podcast Phil!
Such great teambuilding and challenge course content regularly delivered into my feed for free!? This podcast is an exceptional service to the industry, and fun to listen to!
Regardless if you are new to the field or have been immersed in it for awhile there is content knowledge with some raw organic humor (thanks Phil) for all professionals to benefit from. Love recommending it to our students as a great outside resource to learn from.
