The Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience, or C.O.P.E. program is a week-long high adventure activity for older Scouts that teaches advanced team-building and problem solving skills. Scouts will learn to work as a group and function as a team to meet a series of high and low COPE elements. Participants should be at least 13 years old. Kia Kima has one of the finest high ropes courses of any Boy Scout Camp. The goals of project COPE are to build leadership, self esteem, decision making, trust, and teamwork.

These activities include: Blacksmithing, Tomahawk Throwing, Primitive Tools, Black Powder Rifle Shooting, and Dutch Oven Cooking.
