Low Ropes Course
Schreinerʼs new Low Ropes Course is now open to
the public. Located on the northeast side of campus,
it offers 10 mentally and physically challenging ropes
elements as well as numerous games and initiatives that
complement the team building process. And of course, itʼs
just plain fun!
According to Micah Wrase, Schreinerʼs campus recreation
director, common misconceptions about ropes courses are
that participation requires perfect balance and eye-hand
coordination as well as muscular strength. He says none
of these individual attributes provides any advantage on
the low ropes course elements, where success requires
teamwork among people with all levels of physical skill
rather than outstanding individual performances.
The SU low ropes course requires about three hours, but
adjustments can be made according to a groupʼs needs
and time constraints. The minimum group size is 10
people and maximum is 50; each team member costs
$10. Schreiner offers reduced prices for area schools,
non-profit organizations, and church groups. For more
information, contact mkwrase@schreiner.edu or call
(830)792-7476.

your story to
Schreiner history
Schreiner’s storied history will soon be available
through a series of historical vignettes on our
web site. This will make it accessible to a larger
audience than just those who visit our campus.
For instance, historical vignettes will be imbedded
into the map of the campus located on the SU
web site.
The history site subcommittee of John
Huddleston, Kathie Walker, Sandy Speed,
Jennifer Hinds, and Lane Tait invites you to
submit ideas, stories, contacts, photos, video or
audio recordings, etc., for this significant project.
Schreiner’s story needs to be told in all its glory,
and the subcommittee is betting that you have a
colorful story or two about Schreiner’s history that
needs to be saved and shared with others.
