School Groups

Give your students the essentials to work in a group dynamic and the tools to improve their ability to communicate with others. Choose from the following available programs:

Team Building Initiatives
Team Building Initiatives are conducted outdoors in an open yet shaded area.  Additionally, team building can be conducted as an outreach program at your location (indoors or outdoors depending on space and weather).  Participants engage in a series of interactive games that enhance a variety of interpersonal skills, including problem-solving, leadership, cooperation and listening.  The Center’s facilitators provide meaningful contexts and debrief continually so that the group may grasp the application of game strategies to their personal life at school or home.

Service Learning Component
Participants may opt to spend the afternoon working as a team to provide an “extreme habitat makeover” on the grounds of the Center. Using newly acquired skills to work effectively as a team, your group might spend the afternoon providing new habitat so that animals/plants at the Center might better find shelter, food, water and space on the grounds.

Program Options
Team Building programs are available as half-day or full-day programs (number of hours scheduled to suit your group), and may be combined with a guided hike on The Center’s trails, or can be combined with a service project.
