Adventure Based Training:
Taking Your Team To New Heights

WHY ELEVATE ADVENTURE TRAINING?

Wesley Acres Elevate Adventure Training Program is the ideal solution for improving communication, cohesiveness, coordination and cooperation among your team. The experiential training elements provide dynamic leadership training that transfers to enhance productivity in the workplace, and increased bottom lines.
Our certified and experienced Facilitator(s) will work with you to develop a program that will meet the specific needs of your organization. Whether your objectives are to reveal emerging leaders, strengthen team dynamics, get employees thinking out side the box or increased interpersonal & intrapersonal relations, Elevate Adventure Programming will take your team to new heights!

What Is ELEVATE Adventure Based Training?

Elevate Adventure Training consists of a customized series of fun and challenging facilitated activities developed to achieve the specific objectives outlined by your organization. In designing a day or weekend program you have a number of options to choose from, including our outdoor experiential components (Low Ropes Course, High Ropes Course, Rock Climbing Wall & Simulated Search & Rescue Operation), team & trust building activities, initiative problems, and intense team sports. Each component is attuned to correspond with the physical and emotional capabilities of each group. Groups Succeed by working together to overcome each challenge. Individuals Success is found in overcoming personal barriers and stepping outside of confining comfort zones in the safe “challenge by choice” environment. Each component is complemented by relevant briefings and structured discussions. The program concludes with a debrief conducted by your program facilitators and team leaders.
 
ELEVATE EXPERIENTIAL COMPONENTS
 
High Ropes
The High Ropes Facility was created by internationally respected Canadian Ropes Company. Harnessed and backed by professionally trained belayers and facilitators, participants ascend over 35’, where they traverse up to 5 elements (clatter bridge, balance beam, vertical play pen, cable cross & zipline). Each sharpens their problem solving and communication skills, working through fear, confidence and trust issues with the help of facilitators and team members below. Action concludes on a wide-eyed, rapid ride zipline between the trees, 400’ into the woods.
 
 
Low Ropes 
Improve effective communication skills, develop problem solving abilities, create team unity, build confidence and trust and watch as emerging leaders are revealed as your team navigates our 9 element Low Ropes course. Elements include The Wall; Titanic’s Porthole, The Traverse, Whale Watch, Spider Web, Platform Poise, Mission Exchange & Team Traverse
 
 
Rock Climbing Wall 
The unique 45’ high, 4-season Rock Climbing Wall is built inside an old grain silo and offers two runs of varying difficulties. Participate to challenge yourself or compete head to head in timed trials and team challenges.

FACILITIES & CONFERENCE COMPONENTS
Wesley Acres Retreat & Conference Centre, is situated on a 102 Hectare (250 acre) island in West Lake, south of Bloomfield, ON. Located in historic, picturesque Prince Edward County, over the causeway from Waring Creek Marsh wetlands we are only a short boat ride across West Lake from Sandbanks Provincial Park. Natural wildlife is plentiful in this somewhat remote & partly wooded set of islands.

On-site physical facilities include full conference center amenities: a variety of large & small group meeting rooms, 16 unit motel, 8 room lodge, 6 double cabins, 12 dorm rooms and a dining hall that will cater to your needs.

SAFETY
The construction and operation of the course was built & certified in accordance with the Professional Ropes Course Association.

Each Facilitator has successfully completed the Canadian Ropes Company Training Course which is complimented by ongoing training and first hand
Experience.

Our facilitators emphasize a “challenge by choice” attitude that guarantees each individual the freedom (and support from the group) to say no to activities she or he is not comfortable in completing.

Physical and emotional Safety are our top priority!
