The ideal setting for your corporate team or group!
Whether you're searching for the perfect place to develop future leaders of your organization, or looking for a casual, natural environment for team building exercises, the YMCA Outdoor Centre can accommodate you.
The team development experience invites groups to step outside their usual environment and collaborate on physical and intellectual challenges led by an Outdoor Centre Facilitator. Through problem-solving and teamwork, participants build communication, trust, adaptability, and an appreciation for both individual and group contributions.
Opportunities to grow together
Activities take place both indoors and out, and provide opportunities for group members to:
- Solve problems as a group
- Get to know the unknown/unfamiliar strengths of oneself and others
- Communicate and adapt in unfamiliar situations and surroundings
- Rely on and trust one another in order to be successful in the challenges
- Resolve potential conflict positively and productively
- Test, confront and surpass perceived limitations
- Accomplish tasks that initially seem unachievable
The instructor then takes the skills learned and applies them to real-life situations. All activities are debriefed during a conversation facilitated by our trained program staff, but driven by your group members.
Challenge by Choice
During all activities, individual participants are in complete control of their own level of involvement. Although participants might be gently encouraged to challenge themselves, we do not believe in persuading participants. Those who choose to participate to a lesser extent will discover that there are many other roles to play, regardless of level of physical involvement.
