Programs combine team building or new group forming activities with adventure and hard skills to encourage participants to work together and make decisions, and to examine how each person's abilities impact the team. Come away with a renewed sense of group process and appreciation for each individual. These programs are geared for learning through "play".
Adventure Racing in Ecuador: Mini eco-challenge/survivor-type scenarios to stimulate the competitive instinct and foster team development as teams compete head to head in a multi-terrain, multi-activity race. Push the boundaries of your body, mind and spirit. The final goal is to finish together
Backpacking Expeditions: These 2 to 4 day programs offer wilderness environments as the classroom. Daily living is basic. Teams participate in a number of activities from orienteering to stream crossings and Tyrollean traverses. When we confront our minimal needs for existence (i.e., water, food, shelter, warmth) we see more clearly the common strands among group members and the need for teamwork. And, of course, we will take time to enjoy the beauty and refreshment that the Pisgah National Forest has to offer.
First Aid and CPR: Be prepared to handle medical emergencies on-the-job. Learn about prevention, awareness, and treatment for injuries that are common in the industry you work in.
Mountain Challenge: Throw your group into a physically demanding environment where needs encompass temperature control, sleep, food and cooperation. Develop your group’s communication patterns and styles, identify personal strengths and challenges, learn about the roles you play and how they change in different situations, and work on backcountry living skills all in a supportive yet dynamic setting.
Designed after principles standardized by the outdoor industry’s leading programs and authorities, the Mountain Challenge offers a dynamic backcountry program designed to enhance teamwork and community development through its activities and experiences. Courses range in length from 2-4 days, and are custom-tailored to each group’s unique needs and goals.
