Does your group want to become more effective team players? Need to improve communication between co-workers? Want to offer your staff a unique and fun retreat? The Department of Recreational Services has just the program for you! The Teambuilding and Leadership Challenges program provides adventure-challenge opportunities to help your group reach its full potential. These adventure-challenge opportunities are presented in the form of new games, trust exercises, initiatives and low/ high ropes challenge course elements.


New Games, Trust Exercises & Initiatives
These adventurous activities will test an individual’s physical and mental strength as well challenge the teamwork and communication skills of the group.

New Games: These non-competitive group games enhance the interaction and familiarity within a group.

Trust Exercises: Build trusting relationships within your group with these exercises. Groups are presented a series of physical and emotional challenges, and individuals have the opportunity to place their personal safety in the hands of others.

Initiatives: Facilitators present groups with an initiative problem which is a physical, and often mental, challenge. The group is called on to assess the problem given, develop a plan, act on that plan, evaluate its effectiveness, refine the plan if necessary and then act on the plan again.


Low Challenge Course Elements
Low Challenge Course (LCC) elements are a series of activities attached to trees or poles by boards, cables and ropes. These activities focus on building a more effective team in a fun, hands-on way. Spotting techniques are needed to safely implement solutions to problems.


High Challenge Course Elements
The indoor high-challenge course elements are a series of belayed activities fixed 25-feet high. The focus of these activities can be both the individual and the group. The group is there to support its team members as they attempt elements.

*High Challenge Course Programs are offered for a minimum of 3 hours per group.
