Sample Events and Programs:

THE ADVENTURE CHALLENGE
This exhilarating course is designed and delivered to “break the ice”, build trust and support, encourage communication and cooperation, leadership skills and motivate participants to achieve something “out of their comfort zone”. There is a wide range of adrenalin rushes and confidence boosters, including the 120m Flying Fox, Mohawk Walk (Low Ropes Course), Pamper Pole (Ultimate Leap of Faith) and Brain-teasing games and initiatives (TIPS for Success). All this combines to create a fun-filled, action-packed day. 


HIGH ROPES COURSE
Modeled on, and expanded from, the successes of Project Adventure U.S.A., this is an excellent team and personal development facilitator.  Individuals face large personal challenges climbing around our course of bridges and swings 10m up in the trees, whilst their team mates are fully responsible for maintaining the safety systems.  Our professional instructors maintain close supervision, but the need to rely on others while pushing oneself is obviously stressed.


MINI OLYMPICS
Fun and challenging for all. Large groups are broken into smaller teams and compete in ‘round robin’ fashion working against the clock in a series of timed tasks including; Holey Pipe, Trollies, Mine Field, Group Juggle etc. A fun and zany team building day.

NVAT CHALLENGE
Sends people on a journey where they face complex challenges, requiring teams to work in small groups achieving objectives and moving against set time limits.  Participants must organise themselves into task orientated teams, through delegation and skill recognition.  They learn their role in a team; their strengths and limitations, the essential ingredients to form a team and the rewards an efficient one brings. The challenge moves from small team initiatives to a large team strategic exercise, with multiple objectives and an overlaying time line. This is a fun yet demanding team experience for those teams wishing to extend themselves.

EARN  MUCH AS YOU CAN
Not your normal outdoor adventure programme – on this one your feet are never more than one metre off the ground! A high impact day is created in the not-so-physical activities, through the use of engaging games and initiatives as part of an overall challenge to earn as much as you can. Groups earn credits by ‘playing the odds’ on their success through a series of TIPS for Success (Team Initiatives and Problem Solvers) activities. This motivational on-ground programme allows groups to explore and develop the power of team synergy. Small groups work independently on different initiatives to acquire plans, equipment and credits to ‘Earn As Much As You Can’ and become the champion team. Only when these smaller groups come together with a common vision are they able to go past competition and succeed as a cooperative team.

Includes: • Trained travel professional able to customized activities to groups level and needs • Expert team to support individual teams in the field • Top quality equipment and safety gear delivered to your hotel or start location. • Ability to facilitate transport for large groups Lunches, backpacks and water bottles for each  participants – ability to customize with corporate logos with proper lead time.
