Proprioceptive Input

Body awareness through muscles and joints

• Low Load: Catch & Release Fishing (gentle casting), Sunbow Archery (steady aiming)

• High Load: Alpine Tower (climbing effort), Inflatable Water Slide (climbing/sliding), Outdoor Climbing Tower (full-body ascent), Tandem Zipline (body tension), Indoor Rock Climbing Wall (racing exertion), Paddle Boating (pedaling), Sunshine Trails (uneven terrain), Disc Golf (throwing), Indoor Basketball (running/jumping), Indoor Volleyball (explosive moves), Kayaking (paddling), Rope Course (obstacle navigation), Swings (core engagement)

• Impact: Grounds or fatigues based on intensity. Low-load tasks offer subtle muscle feedback, ideal for calm focus. High-load activities deliver deep pressure, aiding self-regulation but potentially exhausting for some.

Balance and motion through inner ear

• Low Load: Catch & Release Fishing (stable dock), Sunbow Archery (static posture), Sunshine Trails (flat concrete paths)

• High Load: Alpine Tower (height adjustments), Inflatable Water Slide (rapid descent), Outdoor Climbing Tower (vertical shifts), Tandem Zipline (speedy motion), Indoor Rock Climbing Wall (racing balance), Paddle Boating (water sway), Kayaking (dynamic balance), Rope Course (swinging elements), Swings (oscillating motion), Indoor Basketball (quick turns), Indoor Volleyball (jumps/dives)

• Impact: Stimulates or unsettles depending on tolerance. Low-load options provide gentle stability, soothing for sensitive individuals. High-load motion can thrill or disorient, requiring monitoring for comfort.

Touch through skin—textures, temperature

• Low Load: Disc Golf (disc grip), Sunbow Archery (bow/string contact)

• High Load: Alpine Tower (ropes/holds), Inflatable Water Slide (water/textures), Outdoor Climbing Tower (holds/harness), Tandem Zipline (wind/harness), Indoor Rock Climbing Wall (grips/harness), Catch & Release Fishing (bait/fish), Paddle Boating (water/seat), Sunshine Trails (dirt/roots), Indoor Basketball (ball/court), Indoor Volleyball (ball impact), Kayaking (paddle/water), Rope Course (ropes/surfaces), Swings (chains/air)

• Impact: Enriches or irritates based on sensitivity. Low-load activities limit touch to familiar objects, minimizing discomfort. High-load options offer intense, varied sensations—monitor for enjoyment or aversion.

Sight through eyes—color, movement, depth

• Low Load: Catch & Release Fishing (focused water line), Sunbow Archery (target focus)

• High Load: Alpine Tower (height/views), Inflatable Water Slide (motion/colors), Outdoor Climbing Tower (scanning holds), Tandem Zipline (rapid scenery), Indoor Rock Climbing Wall (racing visuals), Paddle Boating (water ripples), Sunshine Trails (nature shifts), Disc Golf (flight tracking), Indoor Basketball (fast play), Indoor Volleyball (ball tracking), Kayaking (landscape changes), Rope Course (obstacle depth), Swings (swaying views)

• Impact: Engages or overwhelms based on processing speed. Low-load tasks focus vision narrowly, aiding concentration. High-load activities flood the eyes with dynamic input, potentially exciting or fatiguing.

Hearing through ears—sounds, volume

• Low Load: Catch & Release Fishing (quiet nature), Sunbow Archery (soft release), Sunshine Trails (calm ambiance)

• High Load: Alpine Tower (wind/cheers), Inflatable Water Slide (splashes/voices), Tandem Zipline (wind/rush), Indoor Rock Climbing Wall (indoor echoes), Indoor Basketball (court noise), Indoor Volleyball (slaps/whistles), Rope Course (equipment sounds), Swings (air swoosh)

• Impact: Calms or disrupts based on sensitivity. Low-load settings offer soothing natural sounds, ideal for relaxation. High-load environments amplify noise, energizing some while overwhelming others—adjust exposure as needed.

Smell through nose—scents, intensity

• Low Load: Indoor Rock Climbing Wall (gym scents), Indoor Basketball (rubber/floor), Indoor Volleyball (indoor air), Disc Golf (mild outdoors)

• High Load: Catch & Release Fishing (fish/water), Paddle Boating (lake air), Kayaking (water/plants), Sunshine Trails (earth/trees), Tandem Zipline (fresh air), Alpine Tower (nature), Outdoor Climbing Tower (outdoor mix), Rope Course (woods), Swings (grass/breeze)

• Impact: Enhances or distracts based on preference. Low-load indoor activities keep scents subtle, avoiding strong reactions. High-load outdoor tasks introduce potent natural odors, grounding some but unsettling scent-sensitive individuals.

Taste through mouth—flavors, exposure

• Low Load: Alpine Tower, Outdoor Climbing Tower, Tandem Zipline, Indoor Rock Climbing Wall, Catch & Release Fishing, Sunshine Trails, Disc Golf, Indoor Basketball, Indoor Volleyball, Rope Course, Sunbow Archery, Swings

• High Load: Inflatable Water Slide (water splash), Paddle Boating (lake taste), Kayaking (incidental water)

• Impact: Rarely significant; monitor incidental exposure. Low-load activities lack taste unless dust/air intervenes, keeping it neutral. High-load water activities may introduce mild taste from splashes, tolerable for most but notable for sensitive individuals.

Mental processing—focus, emotion, problem-solving

• Low Load: Catch & Release Fishing (patience), Paddle Boating (rhythmic calm), Swings (simple joy)

• High Load: Alpine Tower (fear/focus), Inflatable Water Slide (thrill), Outdoor Climbing Tower (strategy), Tandem Zipline (excitement), Indoor Rock Climbing Wall (racing decisions), Sunshine Trails (navigation), Disc Golf (technique), Indoor Basketball (team play), Indoor Volleyball (quick thinking), Kayaking (balance control), Rope Course (teamwork), Sunbow Archery (precision)

• Impact: Relaxes or challenges based on capacity. Low-load tasks demand minimal effort, fostering calm. High-load activities require focus, emotional regulation, or strategy, enriching engagement but potentially taxing for some.
