Facilitators encourage groups to evaluate how they work as a group and the importance of a cooperative, supportive atmosphere which requires the participation of all involved. Our desire is to encourage groups to discover new models for working together and respond to each other s needs in the process of working toward a common goal. The aim of many activities is to allow the students to view themselves as increasingly capable and competent. The curriculum has been planned to encourage students to try new and different activities some of which may involve initial anxiety. Our program is not designed to suffocate participants with confidence building and team building activities.
Every activity is designed with a substantial amount of fun in it.
Just as people in the program may regularly be anxious and even fearful, so should they even more regularly experience joy, laughter and excitement. The Climbing Wall is an activity designed largely around the individual, but can be effectively used to build team work, communication and many of the above mentioned group goals. Our Climbing Wall programs are designed to explore careful decision making and problem solving skills in an emotionally and physically safe environment.
