Testimonials

Evans & Chambers Technology - A famous proverb reads "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Well our CFO (Chief Fun Officer) makes sure our employees are never bored. Have you ever climbed a 30 foot pole, stood on top as it wobbled, and forced yourself to jump and grab a trapeze 15 feet away? Well we did, and you'd be surprised how rewarding an experience that can be. Evans & Chambers did that and more, completing a wilderness ropes course as a team building event.

John Williams - " Your instructors were amazing at asking thought provoking questions and drawing good lessons from the various encounters."

Monica DeAgnostino - " I can't say enough about how fun John Paul's 10th Birthday party was. All of the kids, especially John Paul were so excited and had so much fun.  You really have a gift with kids, your attitude and patience makes such a difference. We will see you again next year!"

Nancy Derr - "Our participants and their leaders were so impressed with the program and with the team building skills of the facilitators"

Cristina Green - " Our guide, Art was very good with the girls.  That was very important that he could talk to them well.  I'm sure each girl amazed herself, and did more than she thought.  They were really empowered after that, and I think that is good for girls at this age.  We loved it and hopefully you will see us again."

Carly Reitzes - "We had a great time, thanks a lot.  This may have been one of our best years yet!"

Jim Sohn - " Once again, you guys did a great job!  The Zip line's continue to be very popular. My compliments also to your staff, who were very friendly and made our event even more fun.  Thank you very much and we will definitely  book again next year.

Tasha Pizarro - "Again I want to thank you for a great day!.  Larry did a great job, he was wonderful with the kids.  great activities, I know I was pushed beyond my limit...I jumped off the pole, and all thanks to a lot of coaching from Larry! We will be back next year, same time!"

George Travez - "We are still talking about our experience at Upward Enterprises. You left a lasting impression!"

Wanda - " The girls, and leaders had a great time. Your facilitators were wonderful. All in all it was a beautiful day and we had a great time"

Kathy Scripka - "We want to thank Larry and Upward Enterprises.  The girls had a wonderful time yesterday. Some of the girls were really challenged and succeeded!"

Marilyn Riley - "Thanks so much for your willingness to take on our team of three. We all had a wonderful experience throughout the entire day, and I was so glad to be with my sons under the conditions of a ropes course. To have such freedom with you as our personal guide, and the entire ropes course to ourselves was an occurrence we probably will never be able to duplicate. Ropes Course - $300, Experience - priceless!"

Nina Bishop, Director, International Sports Initiatives, United States Department of State - " On behalf of the United States Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECU), I would like to thank you for organizing and running the full day ropes course for our Tunisian Basketball Delegation.  Many of our young athletes commented that this was an entertaining experience that encouraged them to learn about values such as trust, teamwork, cooperation and respect.  This was a great opportunity for these young basketball players to experience a team exercise that was entirely new to them.'

Brian Naegeli, The Montgomery Conservation Corps - "We found the entire experience greatly rewarding. The trust falls and other team exercises instilled an awareness in us of the dynamics of a team situation, which is vital to an organization such as the Corps. The ropes course allowed us to explore our individual strengths and weaknesses. So we can now more actively confront our own unique problems and rely upon our strengths with more confidence. We also had a lot of fun doing all this!"

Denese Lombardi, The Foundation School - "Thanks so much for a great day with Upward Enterprises! Our students and staff had a very good first experience and we look forward to another opportunity to work on the Challenge Course!"

James Gray, NASD - "All of you did a wonderful job and your enthusiasm made the afternoon all that more enjoyable."
