Activities will be open to Virginia Tech faculty, staff, and students, as well as off-campus and corporate groups.

Venture Out Assistant Director of Matt Lattiss said the adventure course is sure to test those who take it on.

“This takes people out of their comfort zone. We want to expand that comfort zone into what we call a growth zone. We don't want to put them into a panic or make them feel unsafe. With an adventure course like this, we can facilitate a controlled environment to expand their comfort zone,” Lattiss said. 

The public can try it out during the grand opening from 3 to 6 p.m.
