TEAM ADVENTURES

Boat building

In small teams, participants have the opportunity to design, build and race a small boat. This activity encourages students to increase interaction with each other and build relationships, while developing an understanding of leadership and having fun all at the same time!  While teams operate independently to reach their goal, facilitators are nearby to identify communication breakdowns, coach planning and focus performance.

 

Challenge Skills

This module begins with a Safety First Workshop in which team members learn how to utilize climbing equipment to ensure the absolute safety of a climber. This includes harnesses, belay systems, and verbal communication. Each participant has the opportunity to choose their challenge. Potential challenges include: climbing poles to elevations of 20 to 30 feet; traversing cable bridges; swinging from the Swing Shot, or flying down the Zip Line. In each challenge, a team member is 100% supported by their team. (Activities can be modified based on the age level of participants.)

 

LIFE LESSONS I:  COMMUNICATION

Participants engage in a sequence of activities designed to improve communication skills.  This includes developing listening skills and learning to speak with good purpose while clearly expressing oneself.  The life skills learned helps the participants to develop friendships, resolve conflicts and communicate clearly their needs, opinions, frustrations and feelings in a positive manner.
