Bill,

Here is the list that I promised:

I get all the books from:

Project Adventure
P. O. Box 100
Hamilton, Mass 01936
Tel (508)-468-7981
Fax (508)-468-7605

I found that trying to get the books at my normal bookstore required special ordering.


Cowtails and Cobras II
Author: Karle Rehnke
ISBN: 0840354347
$18.50

This book is great for understanding the concept of a leadership program that includes manipulatives and low/high ropes courses. Questions that are answered: Why do mirroring with a partner, why do the trust fall, what is the function of a spotter, what will the 12 foot wall accomplish..


Silver Bullets
Author: Karle Rehnke
ISBN: 084035682-X
$18.50

This book is great because it contains a lot of games that you can put together to accomplish the above tasks.. Beware... some of the challenges don't have answers... I wrote a couple of computer simulations to figure them out!


There is new books that can be purchased from an extention of Project Adventure (I believe it is Karle Rehnke's company)

Candle Hunt
1-800-228-0810

Bag of Tricks (Newsletter - quarterly which adds more games)
$12.50/year


Bottomless Bag Again
Author: Karle Rehnke
ISBN: 0840387571
$32.50

(I have seen this and it has lots of games which I now use)


Bottomless Baggie
Author: Karle Rehnke
ISBN: 0840368135
$18.50
(A smaller book than above)


Here is the list that I have recieved (to keep them all together:
