Go Team Go!

This program is fun and interactive, designed for groups that want to improve teamwork, cooperation, collaborative problem solving, and team spirit but only have a few hours. The Go Team Go will have your group experiencing a series of fast paced simulations and teambuilding challenges that will put your communication and problem solving skills to the test. Short introductions to team concepts and facilitated group discussions are used at the end of each team challenge to help attendees identify action steps and commitments that can be implemented in the workplace. The activities for this program are engaging and active but they are designed to include important roles that require different levels of physical ability and different skill sets. These activities can include a high course challenge, large group activities (up to 250), map and compass scavenger hunt, and indoor simulation style challenges.

Teaming Up

This program is offered in full day blocks. The longer the program the further we take your group. For example, in our 4-5 hour ½ day Teaming Up program your group will experience ground level team challenges. Our full day program lasts 6-7 hours and includes a skill building workshop on teamwork, a series of more in-depth challenges, skill building sessions to introduce critical skills for teamwork, personal action plans for every participant, and the chance to take on our incredible high ropes course and Zip Line challenge!

Combining Forces

Teaching people to value collaboration is not easy. The Combining Forces program helps newly formed and recently shuffled teams in overcoming the barriers to stellar communication and teamwork. We begin with small groups working toward individual goals. These groups will be in a race against the clock to "pass through the gauntlet, build a bridge across a gulley, or to scale a rock wall. Then as the program progresses, each team will discover incentives for collaborating with other teams. As they begin to combine talent and pool their resources the challenges will become increasing more complex and the results more extraordinary. The result is a real time experience which illustrates the importance of teamwork. This program uses a fast paced and fun learning environment, indoor or outdoor team exercises, and our high energy staff to keep things moving and to shine a positive light on the opportunities created by combining forces. This program requires 1- 2 Days some pre workshop planning is also required.
