  The
low challenge course centers on teambuilding activities that bring
out participants’ personality styles
and leadership qualities. The low elements are those that are
built near the ground. The safety system used in low elements is
group spotting. Participants are taught spotting techniques to
enable them to give emotional
and physical support to teammates. The low elements are group-based,
problem-solving activities designed to promote effective group
interaction. These activities provide team members and leaders
with opportunities to explore and experiment with strategies
for powerful teamwork.  Discussion following each activity focuses
on
the interaction between participants. Depending on desired
learning outcomes, the half-day events are designed to highlight
a wide
range of team challenges, from detailed analytical planning
to improvisation on the fly. This program can be held at our course
or we can bring our equipment to your site.
 
The low and high challenge course includes the initiatives and
low elements in addition to the option of the high elements.
The program starts out with activities which provide group members
opportunities to begin to feel comfortable with each other in
this setting. The next step is the de-inhibitizer activities
where participants are able to take some risks as well as make
improvements in commitment and allow themselves to laugh. Communication
and problem solving initiatives are then used to help in testing
and strengthening the ability of the group to communicate, follow
instructions and solve mentally difficult problems. For those
groups needing more physical challenges, the high elements are
an additional option. The high elements, 25-30 feet high, focus
on individual achievement and development with appropriate group
support from teammates. Participants are not compared to each
other. What might be easy for one person might be difficult for
the next. Completing an element on the course can enhance the
self-confidence of participants who have exceeded their pre-conceived
limits. The high elements course opens doors for sharing real-life
challenges and identifies ways to support each other. Ropes attached
to the participants are used as the safety system for all high
elements. Although perceived risk may be high, these activities
are safe and led by certified instructors.

Programs are designed to fit the
client's training needs and address the group process and bonding
sides of teambuilding. These programs enable participants to work
as a team outside of their normal day to day work duties therefore
challenging them to find solutions, delegate responsibilities and
support one another. Activities are designed to be within the capability
of anyone in reasonably good health. Although they can be physically
demanding at times, they are not military style initiatives and
do not require unusual endurance. Activities are accessible to
include
participants of all physical abilities. Several options are available
to groups which utilize both indoor and outdoor classrooms. Participants
