Challenge Course

Wellness and Recreation offers a variety of team and leadership development programs to university groups, community organizations and corporate groups.

Groups will work through a variety of activities including icebreakers, problem-solving initiatives and low course elements. Group members will quickly establish a sense of camaraderie and teamwork, while developing an atmosphere of cooperation and trust.

Groups will push beyond their perceived limits as individuals and as a team to expand their comfort zone, build self-confidence and overcome self-imposed barriers while motivating and encouraging each other.

Begin with low course teambuilding followed by a high course adventure, perfect for any group seeking the best of both experiences.

Bring the challenge to you. Developmental activities will be facilitated at a location that is convenient for your group. Additional travel costs may be assessed.
