Frequently Asked Questions
I’m concerned about the people who are not in good shape. Will they be able to safely participate?
Yes. Most of the groups find they can successfully improve communication, build camaraderie, and establish trust without ever leaving the ground. People with physical disabilities are able to fully participate in most of the activities. The program can be designed to insure no one is left out. The activities that do involve a small of amount of physical activity can involve everyone.
We could really benefit from some team building events, but our agenda is very full so we don’t have time to use the Executive Challenge Course. Are there things that can be done quickly?
There are several programs that can be completed in from 20 to 90 minutes. Build a Boat and Build a Car can be completed within 60 to 90 minutes depending upon the size of the group. We also can stage team building events in your meeting room or just outside to energize people during a break. Another option is to combine a team building event with dinner or a reception. We are extremely flexible. Just tell us what you want to achieve and how much time is available and we’ll make it happen.
We don’t really want team building in the traditional sense. Instead, we’d like to do something different just for fun. Is that possible?
Absolutely. We often take groups to the Executive Challenge Course just to build camaraderie and have fun. Some people prefer to do something adventuresome. They can climb and fly down our zip line – just for the fun of it. Or how about a leisurely canoe trip down the local river? Not only are the events fun, but we can add a small dimension of team building so participants leave with new insight that benefits both them and your organization.
Does our group have to be a certain size to do a team building event?
No. There are no size restrictions. We’ve designed programs at the Executive Challenge course for small groups and for corporate groups of over 500. Families, sports teams, and small business offices have achieved their objectives regardless of size.
What are some of the benefits we can expect as a result of a team building experience?
There are many benefits and not just for your organization. The lessons can be applied to a family, social organization, church or just about any setting requiring cooperation to achieve a shared goal. Learning to trust your own judgment as well as that of others is a benefit. So is an awareness of the ways we communicate other than through language. Of course when any group comes together and has fun, camaraderie is built, but so is confidence. Much depends upon the objectives of the organization. We always begin with the end. We then put together a program designed specifically to achieve those objectives.
