The Activity Program
Teambuilding activities present on the course vary depending on the theme and age group. The program itself is completely custom, so the kinds of activities included in the team-building events are different for every client.
Theme-related team games (relay races, aim-and-throw, capture the flag, or point-scoring) are the perfect way to break the ice and ease the group into working together. And construction-based games, like those focused on building bridges from planks or stairs from blocks, promote creative thinking with agility and fosters team spirit with children and adults alike.
Our custom-designed timed exercises incorporate countless combinations of unique movement-based activities needed to solve a specific problem. These activities may include vaulting, climbing and jumping over obstacles, parallel bars, or commando crawl tunnels. Scenario-based rescue activities (one team member has to be moved by the rest of their group from one place to another across the obstacle course) are also great exercises to encourage team communication and trust.
The age group and theme of the event are always taken into consideration when designing the program. This way, every client gets a unique and productive team-building experience.
