TEAM Works Programs & Activities

TEAM Works Programs

The TEAM Challenge
The building blocks of a successful team include open communication, trust and the ability to reach a common goal. Through fun and interactive activities, team members work together to develop these key skills. The TEAM Challenge can take place indoors or outdoors and is ideal for teams with a wide range of physical abilities.

The Advanced TEAM Experience
Teams build upon their foundations and further develop skills as they progress through more challenging activities such as Alpine Rescue and high adventure activities.

The Ultimate Journey
Participants must work together to reach specific destinations on a journey through a wilderness or urban landscape. Each destination will offer challenges to be completed and clues to move ahead on the journey. Teams will be given limited resources including maps, compasses and clues/instructions.

Targeted Learning Experiences
Comprehensive training is offered to pinpoint a specific area such as leadership, communication, change management, negotiation and influencing, and more. These trainings include both classroom based instruction and experiential learning. Participants have the opportunity to put their new skills into immediate use in a supportive and fun team environment.

TEAM Works Activities

The typical group process begins with the whole group doing activities such as icebreakers and warm-ups. Larger groups are then divided into smaller groups for the team challenges. At the end of the program, the entire group will come back together to share insights on how they may apply what was experienced during the program to their everyday life.
