Hi.

Camp Fogarty in E. Greenwich, RI has a confidence course that's probably the best in the area AFAIK.
Do what I did: go to one of the marine boating shops in Newport, New Bedford, etc, and buy yourself some of the thick rope they use for boats. Anchor it up pretty high in a tree and tie a knot in the bottom so it won't unravel, and practice your climbing skills. It's 80% technique.
