Our team building program is a great way to promote teamwork among staff, classmates or just to have fun with a group of friends. We encourage mental risk taking as well as physical fun with our Outdoor Challenge Course and our even higher, Alpine Tower.

Common Questions

What Is Team Building?
Team Building encompasses experiential and adventure learning by encouraging individuals to work cooperatively, challenge themselves in a supportive environment, improve self-esteem and learn creative approaches to problem-solving. Groups participate in games, travel through obstacle stations and as a group decide ways to solve proposed challenges.


Who Can Do Team Building?
Team Building can involve a broad spectrum of ages and abilities. Our staff will assist you in preparing an agenda that is best suited to the demographic of the group members. Members as young as four and as old as eighty-four have participated in the program. We incorporate the Challenge by Choice philosophy throughout the program, which means that individuals set their own goals. All members are incorporated into the challenges working together as a team.


"Individuals are usually more capable (mentally, emotionally and physically) than they perceive themselves to be and if given the opportunity to try in a supportive atmosphere, can discover excellence within themselves." Karl Rohnke


How much time does my group need for team building?
Most groups can accomplish one phase in a half-day session, but larger groups may need a full day to acheive their goals. Half-day, full-day and multi-day sessions are avaiable.


Is team building safe?
Seven Springs' staff are rigorously and continuously trained. The course and equipment is routinely monitored and maintained. Project Adventure conducted a twenty-year safety study, of over fifty-seven million participation hours. The overall injury rate was 4.33 injuries per million hours of participation. Statistical injury rates were significantly lower than many well-accepted sports and other physical activities.


For example, the injury rate for downhill skiing is 167 times greater; soccer 1039 times greater, and even backpacking 43 times greater than adventure course usage. Thus, the issue of safety should encourage course participation rather than inhibit it.

Team Building Phases

PHASE 1
ground level team building initiatives

Team Building games are fun; they involve cooperation and "out-of-the-box" thinking. The team will be interacting, laughing, and learning. Individuals will establish leadership and communication skills. Each initiative is a metaphor for life where they'll learn strategies to apply at work or school.

 PHASE 2
low element challenge course

Throughout the Low Elements, the team must use problem solving to overcome obstacles. It involves setting goals, trust, and understanding diversity. In a supportive group environment, team members will begin to develop self-esteem and an understanding of conflict resolution.

 PHASE 3
Alpine Tower and Giant Swing

The Alpine Tower is the ultimate climbing experience! While the top of the tower is fifty feet high, there are many fun activities as participants progress toward the top. We believe in "Challenge by Choice" where participants set their own personal goals. They experience success and recognize that the seemingly difficult is often quite possible.
