Our
Teambuilding & Leadership Programs explore
how groups develop and interact. The day consists of
a series of fun, exciting and challenging activities
that are designed to promote cooperation, communication,
adaptation and trust. Groups meet both physical and
intellectual challenges that are designed to stimulate
an approach that values the abilities of each individual,
but relies upon the interaction of the group for successful
completion.
The
activities take place both indoors and out, and provide
opportunities for group members to:
- Solve problems as group
- Get to know the unknown/unfamiliar strengths of
oneself and others
- Communicate and adapt in unfamiliar situations and
surroundings
- Rely on and trust one another in order to be successful
in the challenges
- Resolve potential conflict positively and productively
- Test, confront and surpass percelved limitations
- Accomplish tasks that initially seem unachievable
...and
learn how to apply these skills to "real life"
situations back at work, school or on the rink or field.
All activities
are debriefed during a conversation facilitated by our
trained program staff, but driven by your group members.
"Challenge
by Choice"
During
all of the activities, individual participants are in
complete control of their own level of involvement.
Although participants might be gently encouraged to
challenge themselves, we do not believe in persuading
participants. Those who choose to participate to a lesser
extent will discover that there are many other roles
to play, regardless of level of physical involvement.
Your
Schedule
A draft
schedule exists, but this program is tailor made by
your group leader and our program director to suit the
specific needs of your group. As well, the daylong experience
can be designed to include an additional day, with supplemental
activities included.
Food
Service
All
meals and snacks are provided and prepared by our full
time kitchen staff in our well-equipped, modern kitchen.
Meals are served buffet style in the dining hall or
Solarium. Vegetarian alternatives are available, and
special requirements are easily accommodated with advance
notice.
