Low Group Teambuilding Initiatives
Team building through problem solving. These initiatives are all “low to the ground” activities and require no safety ropes. Each event takes from 20-60 minutes, depending on the group. Trained staff will facilitate as many initiatives as time allows.
High Ropes Course
Expanding your comfort zone with the support of your group. Participants will move from platforms stationed 30-35 feet up on poles, using ropes and cables for balance. From the time they leave the ground, they are harnessed and secured to safety equipment that insures a safe journey from platform to platform. The course ends with an exciting ride down the zip line.
Climbing Towers
Team building and ground support. A 40-foot tower provides the arena for participants to develop teamwork by climbing with a partner or partners. Participants go as far as they can while connected to their partner(s) by 3 feet of rope.
Pamper Poles
Individual risk taking with support of the group. Participants have the opportunity to climb a 30-foot pole, balance at the top, turn around and leap off. They are lowered to the ground by their safety systems. Participants learn to stop and challenge themselves, to make conscious decisions to take risks, and to reach beyond their preconceived abilities.
Giant’s Ladder
This event focuses on cooperation, problem solving, support and trust. The rungs of the ladder are 8 feet wide and provide an extra challenge the higher the participants climb. Participants climb in pairs and are connected to each other by a length of webbing. Each climber must cooperate, support, and trust their partner and the belay support from the rest of the group.
High V’s
A challenging event for two people focusing on commitment, support, and trust. Two participants climb 25 feet up a ladder and then out on a V-shaped cable using only each other for support. The pair travels as far as they can while the cables get further apart. This is an excellent partnering and communication event.
High Y’s
An event similar to the High V’s focusing on commitment, support, trust, and discovery. Two participants climb separate poles 25 feet high and work their way out to each other on individual cables. Once they reach each other, they now have the opportunity to walk together on one cable to reach the third pole that forms the “Y”.
Zip Line
Individual risk taking with group support and encouragement. Participants climb a 40-foot ladder and then have the opportunity to take the “leap” down a 250-foot zip line. Participants learn to challenge themselves, reach past their own comfort zone and see past their limitations and expand their horizons.
