Bynum Island is a low ropes action/training course that serves schools and community groups throughout the city of Chicago. The course engages the physical, cognitive, and social resources of each participant and challenges them to break away from standard routines and problem solving and require cooperation, goal-setting, creativity, risk-taking, teamwork, communication, accountability, leadership. It also serves as a host to family camping and fishing programs through the Chicago Public Parks. On July 18th, The Mission Continues worked to repair/replace many of the challenges, create new challenges, and add to the capacity of the outdoors programs by building fishing boardwalks, benches, picnic tables, and other public resources. Our Mission on October 10th will be to complete the final tasks to make the obstical course operational.
