Low Ropes Course
Schreiner's 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, it's just plain fun!
According to Micah Wrase, Schreiner's 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 group's 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.

Contribute 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.
