We are constantly developing new offerings and pride ourselves on designing programs specific to the needs of each of our customers. We would love to hear your ideas and design a program that is right for you! Here are some thoughts to get you started: 
SOARING TO NEW HEIGHTS This competitive team building program is great for sales teams! Your group will be split into teams of 4-6 participants and each team will be presented with the challenge of building a rocket with limited materials and according to certain “client” specifications. Each team will give a two minute sales pitch for their final products and then rockets will be launched. Rockets have been known to reach heights of 100 ft! How high will your rocket go? 
FLYING V This program facilitates team development by focusing on common team issues such as: communication, leadership, innovation, trust, collaboration, and unity. Each team will face a series of mental and physical challenges providing an opportunity for reflection and learning. CORPORATE OLYMPICS Designed to meet the needs of larger groups, this self-led teambuilding program incorporates traditional teambuilding initiatives and low challenge activities into a recreational design. Your group will be split into teams of eight to ten participants that will rotate among different challenges, earning points along the way.
LEADERSHIP TEAMWORKS Working with intact leadership teams brings together two of our favorite subjects: leadership development and team dynamics. By addressing difficult issues, building awareness and cultivating specific skill sets, these customized sessions will transform the status quo of your leadership team.

This type of program is a great way to kick off that week-long conference or to get everyone energized for that annual retreat.
BUILDING BRIDGES A competitive program, Building Bridges is recreational and fun yet can also be designed to incorporate in-depth group processing and reflection. Your group will be divided into teams of 8-10 participants. Each team will be presented with the challenge of building a bridge, using only provided materials, that spans a certain distance and supports as much weight as possible – that’s the simple part.

MBTI Utilize the Myers Briggs Type Indicator assessment as a jumping off point for analyzing the dynamics of your team. We view psychometric tools such as MBTI to be just that, tools.
