Providing teambuilding activities for youth and adults, either on-site or at a location near you. Each teambuilding program is designed to suit the needs of your group, and can emphasize whatever aspect of teamwork you choose.
'The goal of every team building program is to encourage the development of the four elements of a successful adventure experience: trust, communication, cooperation and fun.'
Adventure Challenge
For large groups interested in a more recreational team building program on a tight budget... Teams are given instruction booklets and sent through a rotation of different team building activities. During this unique team building event, groups focus on problem-solving, leadership, communication, trust and planning.
Portable Team Challenge
A sequence of games, initiatives, and low elements, which can be set up in offices, classrooms, playing fields, etc... By participating in these challenging yet fun activities, groups focus on problem-solving, leadership, communication, trust, or any other facet of team development.
ROPES Challenge
Combining elements of the
Portable Team Challenge with additional
High Elements, the
ROPE Challenge is a great way for groups to either work on specific goals, or simply enjoy a recreational team building program. The addition of High Elements creates a significant individual experience for members of the group, focusing on personal achievement and self-awareness.
Team Project Events (TPEs)
Incorporating elements of the
Portable Team Challenge with a community service project, the
Team Project Event (TPE) is part traditional teambuilding program and part construction or maintenance project. Organizations can give back to their communities while learning key skills and enjoying the satisfaction of working together towards a higher goal...
Race Day
An exciting and competitive event for smaller groups, the
Race Day enhances teamwork through the creation of a Soapbox Derby Racecar. Teams of 2 to 4 participants will compete to build, brand and race their vehicle, producing their creation on time and within budget...
Team Development
NEXTeams is a multi-step process that combines experiential exercises with comprehensive discussions and diagnostic testing. Over a two or three day event, organizations undergo a complete overhaul of the team, yielding improved communication, commitment and teamwork. From start to finish, the goal is fundamental positive change within the organization.
Games are activities
that serve as icebreakers - encouraging participants to relax, act silly, and remove some of the barriers that normally keep individuals from cooperating with one another. Games are the simplest form of team challenge.
Initiatives are activities
that require group members to identify a problem, make a plan for
solving that problem, and initiate their plan. These challenges foster
communication, commitment to the group and leader/follower roles among
the group members.
Low
Elements are physical structures built out of wood or plastic,
which require significant commitment from members of the group. Many
elements bring participants off of the ground, calling for spotters,
and other safety considerations.
Trust
Activities are physical challenges that may be as simple
as being blindfolded and led through an obstacle course, or as complicated
as being suspended off the ground and flipped through the air into
waiting arms. The additional risk often ranks trust activities among the most intense and powerful experiences in the Portable Team Challenge.
