Adventure challenge training has recently come into popular workplace culture. For many years, most adventure-based programs were limited to schools, camps, and the military. Corporations and businesses have of late found out that experiences in these workshops can be directly translated into performance at work.
Many groups now benefit from programs designed to meet their needs.
Ropes courses and adventure training facilities are working their way into the mainstream, and participants have found that learning through doing often leaves a lasting impression. There are several goals and objectives within the adventure-based training framework. Some include the ability to work as a group , to effectively communicate , to collectively solve problems , to give and get effective feedback , to express feelings, and to push oneself out of comfort zones into the unknown. The team building initiative activities are structured to allow a group to meet on equal ground and work through events that may translate to lasting communication lines being opened. For example, a group may have teamwork as a goal.
