Experiential Adventure Team Building Retreats
As a former Camp Director, Donna is well versed in experiential education.  She has years of experience creating adventure based retreats using high and low ropes course, non competitive games, ice breaker activities, rock climbing, adventure trips and more.  Donna can design the right type of experience for your group. Why use adventure? 

Adventure activities are a great medium for building teams BUT only if you plan well, have a talented facilitator and connect the valuable work back to the workplace. Adventure takes everyone out of their typical environment. They are challenged to work together in a different way and yet all of the dynamics that exist at work come out very quickly.  There is a framework for talking about them, challenging the dynamics themselves and trying different approaches.  The learning occurs at a deep level.

When I facilitate adventure programs I require a minimum of follow-up meetings to ensure that the learning is integrated into the workplace and long lasting. I recommend a full year but require at least 6 months of monthly team meetings.  This learning occurs for people in deep and profound ways and warrants time for integration and processing. It is not always evident in the moment what the learning was or why it is important.
