GREAT OUTDOORS

 

ICE BREAKERS

The activities in this module are aimed at HAVING FUN!  Participants will have the opportunity to interact with others in the group and get to know each other better.  The atmosphere is light-hearted and relaxed.

 

RIVER TRIP 

Adventures Unlimited offers some of the best canoeing in the world.  Streams that flow through the Blackwater State Forest are spring fed, clear and shallow, with white sandy beaches at every bend; giving each student the chance to appreciate the calm of the outdoors.  Most importantly, it provides a wonderful opportunity to learn about: the cycle of water, the history of the area, geology, herpetology, basic physics, ecology, the environment and the unique plant life of the area.

 

Team Trust I 

This module is the beginning of the outdoor challenge experience that focuses each participant on strategic planning, communication, trial application, and interpersonal support. Bonds that will last throughout the school year begin here. This module includes icebreakers, orienteering, and complex problem solving initiatives.

 

Team Trust II 

This module hones in on the specific skills needed to operate as a team. Participants are challenged as a group to assess obstacles, create an action plan, and implement a series of solutions. These projects challenge the team’s communication skills and compel them to identify the components of success. If it sounds too serious, don’t worry; we’ll be having so much fun that you won’t even know how much you’re learning until it’s all over!

 

STARGAZING 

The perfect end to a day outdoors! After learning about the visible constellations, students have a chance to pick them out of the night sky, both with a telescope and with the naked eye.

 

HAYRIDE & BONFIRE

Enjoy a scenic, moonlight ride through the night forest.  Afterwards enjoy an evening around the bonfire.  We provide the fire, the stories, and the marshmallows. We also facilitate story-telling and team development events.
