But how do you do it right? The answer; push your team. The best companies are recognizing the value of "extreme" outdoor retreats. What does extreme entail? Getting out and testing the limits of your team in a safe but uncomfortable environment. Extreme outdoor team building is results oriented. Every component has been devised to offer maximum ROI.
1: Top tier, professional Instructors - Booking an extreme outdoor team building class means access to premier coaches. They've been training for years, and it started before they became instructors. At Grizzly Guard, we search for a variety of backgrounds - from military to back country search and rescue - and mandate extensive certification for all instructors.
2: Tested Curriculum - You don't need to spend nights drumming up articles on how to develop an effective team building program. Every organization is different. We work with our instructors to strike a balance between fun and challenging by offering memorable programs that push comfort zones. With hundreds of programs under our belt, we've tweaked the formula based on feedback and continue to do so.
3: Spartan Comforts - A good team works calmly and smoothly under pressure and stress. Getting out into the woods, where conditions might stink, is the best place to develop this skill. If you can put together an emergency campsite for 10, you can juggle looming deadlines and surprise software failures.
4: Hyper-focused Goals - When you sign up for an extreme outdoor team building course, you know exactly what you're getting. Enhancing team cohesion is the top priority. You can rest easy knowing your budget was used to its fullest potential.
5: Memorable Experiences - You aren't going to forget that rainy Saturday in March, when you and your team worked together to learn about wild edibles and forage for dinner. The memories made are where we receive the most voluminous feedback.
There are so many reasons to upgrade your next outdoor team building experience. However, if you're looking for a more bite sized experience, we've got you covered with our e-guide on ideas to implement in an afternoon, whether you're in the heart of the big city or somewhere a little closer to nature!
