Team Building Problem Solving Challenges
Our team building activities are typically scheduled is 1 to 2 hours increments and involve a selection of 3 – 4 activities each hour. Â We have over 50 indoor activities and 22 outdoor elements that are part of our program. Â Each challenge combines a balance of physical and mental activity, with options for all skill and age levels. Â We focus on the physical interaction because it’s fun, motivating and gets the mind thinking differently. Â Our experienced facilitators work with the group leader to learn about the group and select the right activities based on your objectives, past team building experience, age and physical condition.
