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. |
