Orienteering! The Thought Sport!
"The Thought Sport" - orienteering tests groups ability to make decisions and negotiate differences of opinions.
The challenge involves reading a detailed map of the Binna Burra area with the aim of finding a route around the tracks to locate markers in the most efficient and fastest way possible.
Take the Low Ropes Course! Team Building Activity
Using cables, ropes and wooden beams strung among trees or poles, teams explore risk taking, leadership, and communication, problem-solving and coaching during this adventure, with a focus on collaboration.
The low ropes elements are close to the ground so the perceived risk is low, but still challenging to complete.
Participants gradually expand their comfort zones (sometimes dramatically) and recognize fears that may block personal and professional achievement. Each challenge draws upon team members to actively support each other.
Take the High Ropes Course! Team Building Activity
Using harnesses, helmets, cables, ropes and wooden beams strung 20 to 50 feet high among trees, teams explore risk-taking, trust and coaching. Each moment is rich with discoveries.
Participants appreciate the opportunity to interact with their teammates in a very different and powerful way. Our facilitators establish the context for each activity, monitor participant's safety and help the team recognize valuable insights throughout the day.
The high ropes elements are up in the trees so the perceived risk is high, but actual risk is low. Participants walk across cable bridges, negotiate giant ladders through the trees as they overcome personal fears and develop new self confidence.
