Programs
Preview Program (2 hours):
This program is great for teams with limited resources wanting to gain a snapshot
of what teamwork can do for them. Teams are energized while getting to know each other
better by working on group based challenges and start to discover the power of teamwork.
Teams leave with an understanding of the value of collaboration.
Jumpstart Program (3 hours):
This program is ideal for new teams or pre-existing teams needing a jumpstart to working
better together. Teams focus on getting to know each other and their respective strengths
and weaknesses through experientially based challenges. Teams typically walk away
with high energy, greater group cohesion, and leadership techniques that will jumpstart
their future together.
Half-day Adventure Program (4 hours)
This is our most popular program and rightfully so! Teams start with ground level
teambuilding and trust challenges. Through these exercises, groups build a foundation
for working together and individuals learn introspective techniques for leadership
and interpersonal skills. The day is culminated with our high elements and building
self-esteem with individuals all while keeping a team focus.
Full Day Adventure Program (6 hours)
This in-depth program rallies teams and takes them to the next level utilizing a significant
amount of what our challenge course has to offer. Teams explore their own strengths
and weaknesses at greater depth as well as find better ways their group can work together.
Similar to our Focus Program, trust, problem solving skills, better communication,
leadership development, and fun are all part of this experience with the added self-esteem
building aspect provided by our high elements.
REC 75: Adventure Ropes Experience (all day)
This popular university based one-unit class meets one day on the ropes course and
one evening during the semester for a complete experience in teamwork, trust, and
high ropes.
Interested in bringing your group to experience the EDGE?
To bring the EDGE (Experientially Designed Group Effort) to your team, just email or call us with these five pieces of information. We’ll check the schedule, get a price quote, and answer any other questions you might have.
- Group size
- Program(s) you’re interested in
- Outcomes you hope your group will gain from this experience
- Type of group or team you're involved with (ex. school, business, club, sports team, etc)
- A few dates that work with your schedule
Please note: We have worked with groups as large as 250 and as small as 8. Our experience shows that smaller group settings are more conducive to growth and change. With that said, if your group is large, we can still create a small group setting with creative programming and breaking up larger groups into smaller ones. Call or email us on how we can make your experience a success.
