Team Challenge

 

The Philosophy

Team Challenge believes that everybody has knowledge, skills and competencies that are valuable, and many times unique. By adopting the philosophy Challenge by Choice, our Team Challenge program sets the standard of 100% participation. This challenges participants to think beyond the physical aspects of the challenge course and explore the variety of roles that are essential to team building..

Our environment motivates individuals and teams to move from their comfort zones into their learning zones. Each progression will be at the participant's own pace. 
 

The Process

After a brief introduction, individuals and the group as a whole establish goals. Following warm-up activities, groups engage in a progression of initiatives that require problem-solving and innovative approaches in working together.

The challenges encourage groups to identify and utilize their strengths and resources. Structured discussions empower individuals to share their experiences and observations with the group. Team members are encouraged to apply what they learn from their  experiences to their school, church, business setting, or other life situations.

Corporate Team Challenge

Our Team Challenge Program can be adapted to help promote unity on the job. Employees enjoy the outdoor setting and fresh air as they see each other in different roles than during a normal day at the office. Everyone can learn something about themselves as well as their co-workers as they pull together to solve problems by using creativity and skills in different ways than during a typical work day.
