   Our teambuilding program is one of the best services we can offer to the young people that visit us at Paradise Farm Camps.  It gives them the opportunity to face challenges and obstacles they might never meet in real life, as well as achieve personal goals.

    A teambuilding program begins with all of the students working together in one large group.  After students master the large group we break down into smaller groups of 10-12 students with each instructor.  In the small groups students will face a series of activities, each more difficult than the last, tailored to challenge each group specifically.

    As a component of the teambuilding program every group will attempt a few of our 14 elements in the low-ropes course.  Low-ropes programs tend to focus on team challenge and team success, as opposed to a high-ropes program which focuses more on individual success.

    A major component of all teambuilding programs is the debriefing.  Allowing students to talk about what they did, what worked,  and what didn’t, separates real team learning from just another fun day in the woods.  So each instructor prompts the team to discuss these things after they complete each activity and at the conclusion of the teambuilding program.
