Program Options
-
Short Day
We have found that team building activities can often enhance or complement trainings that are more traditional in nature. While we can accomplish a lot in a Short Day (2 hours) with your group, this amount of time is not enough to resolve existing or long-standing conflicts. The following objectives can be met in this time frame:
- Create a shared experience and start to form relationships.
- Establish a sense of team identity, cooperation, and teamwork.
- Create a supportive atmosphere where participation and encouragement are valued.
-
Half Day
A half-day program (3-4 hours) is the most popular program that we offer. This option would reinforce the objectives that can be achieved in a 2 hour program and additionally serve to:
- Establish and practice group norms.
- Develop group skills such as: communication, problem-solving, collaboration, etc.
- Strengthen relationships, rapport, and commitment.
- Develop interpersonal skills such as: leadership, trust, and confidence.
-
Full Day
A full day (5-6 hour) program would reinforce the objectives that can be achieved in a half day program and additionally serve to:
- Provide a shared experience with increased risk, as High Elements are introduced.
- More deeply explore the characteristics of the group and different interaction patterns.
- Practice new or different actions and behaviors to positively affect group performance.
-
Multi-Day
A multi-day program would allow the group to focus on and delve into issues that are important to the team. A broader sequence of problem solving activities can be presented with longer periods of reflection and feedback, and more opportunities to practice skills. A longer time frame allows for more options of types of activities that can be presented. The benefit of the additional day is that participants have more opportunities to:
- Examine actions and behaviors and more deeply explore the impact on individual and team performance.
- Identify key learnings and develop an action plan to bring these insights back to real life.
Prices
- All programs will be charged for a minimum of 10 members.

A high ropes experience is not made up of a single element, but multiple elements in an intentional sequence. That sequence includes activities that first build group skills and trust on the ground. When a group engages in a high course experience they take what they have learned on the ground and apply those skills in the more challenging environment of the high ropes course.
