A fun-filled and energizing way to learn how to work together. The course presents a series of mental challenges with some physical effort which require active participation of all team members. In the process of participation and debriefing, team members examine levels of trust, teamwork, communication and problem-solving ability.
Through the metaphors presented by the course elements, team members apply what they learn and carry it back to their everyday lives.
These courses are designed with an element of fun and have names such as, "Spider Web," "Alligator Pit", "Mohawk Walk," "Commitment Bridge," and "Trolley."
During this program you learn to:
Promote group interaction, cooperation and trust
Encourage a norm of group support
Identify group resources and leadership
Sharpen communication, problem-solving and decision-making skills
Create a sense of commitment and accountability
If you would like to enhance your team's ability to work at high performance and are looking for a new, creative and fun-filled way to learn together please contact us.
This half day to one-day program can be customized to meet your specific objectives and is conducted at The Country Place Retreat.
“I brought my staff to The Country Place because we work as both a community building team and an emergency response team. Thus, having a sense of trust and unity as a team is vital to our work over the year. Between wonderful food, the beautiful and quiet locale, and the expert work of the Challenge Course trainers, our staff bonded quickly and was better prepared to tackle the coming year. As my staff constantly reminds me, it was one of the high points of our year.”
