Outdoor Student Team Building Programs

Big Projects, Big Lessons

Teams create the fastest, most original go-kart they can out of a selection of materials that offer a wide range of possibilities. Their problem solving and creativity skills are proven as participants actually race their vehicles, powered by fellow students, through a unique course.

This is a team building event and service project combined into one exciting program. Teams of 8-10 participants overcome a series of challenges in order to retrieve the parts for a child’s bicycle which they assemble and then donate to a local charity. There are also bonus challenges where teams can earn accessories for their bikes. The challenges are a combination of proven, high-energy, problem-solving initiatives and mental challenges that will help your team identify the behaviors of optimum teamwork.

This is a fast paced team strategy competition. Several challenges with varying point values are arranged throughout the site for teams to overcome at their own pace. The teams then race to accumulate as many points as they can before time runs out. 20-30 challenges are available for teams to attempt, with most teams getting through 8-12 of them. To be successful, they will need to draw on all the various strengths within their team.

Teamwork Quest is a great way to boost team morale, build group confidence and have a lot of fun. The focus is on the team supporting each other and making group decisions as they tackle a series of challenges. Mutual support, sharing control and coaching for shared success are necessary to accomplish the tasks. This is the perfect program for teams that want the challenge of a ropes course without the physical demand. This program can be done outdoors, or indoors in a large space like a gym.

Your team heads into the jungle on an important rescue mission. Team members use a map, compass and GPS to find several sites that contain valuable items that need to be retrieved.

This is a high-thinking, physical program that encourages team members to fully utilize each other’s talents.

Hunts and High Adventure Programs

This program is inspired by the popular TV series, but updated to be an interactive team event. Plenty of challenges, roadblocks and surprise events make this an exciting and fast-paced event. We’ve worked it so that all the teams finish at once and the winner is the team that arrives with the most points. Since school information and team mate trivia can also be included, this is a great program for new student orientations or student leadership training.

Teams put on their thinking caps and their walking shoes in order to outsmart their competition in these fun and fast-paced programs.

There’s no stopping to ask for directions in this program! The team is taught how to use a GPS, map, compass and other tools (known as orienteering) in order to find as many hidden sites as they can. Along the way, they have fun brainteasers, trivia and photo challenges to tackle, and some hands-on challenges to complete at a few of the destinations. Each team sets their own pace, so this event is great for groups with a variety of ages or physical abilities. Planning, integrating various skill sets, and effective use of time are the determining factors of success.

The High Ropes Course takes your team to new heights. With the physical support and cheering of their team mates, participants work though a series of climbing and balancing activities 30-50 feet off the ground. Each person selects their personal level of challenge and then experiences the thrill of reaching beyond perceived limits while achieving their personal goal.

Teams create super heroes based on character strengths each team member actually possesses. Each team then produces a short stage scene about their heroes in action. The story can be about peer pressure, bullying, academic excellence or any other topic you want the team to be proactive about. We provide all the materials, your team provides the creativity and passion for saving the day.

Being a team player is an important life skill! This program helps students clearly identify what specific strengths they bring to a team and how to work with others to accomplish more than they could on their own. The program is a combination of interactive learning and hands-on activities that allow participants to explore their team style, and see the consequences of going solo versus working with the team.
