TEAMBUILDING ADVENTURES

CHARITY BIKE BUILDArmed with wrenches and enthusiasm, teams race to construct the ultimate human-powered, no-gasoline-needed rocket known to many as a “child’s bicycle.” Teams will be faced with the challenge of assembling their “rockets” without any instructions, all while other teammates navigate entertaining, innovative puzzles and challenges to earn enough “money” to purchase that last crucial part needed to make their team’s bike the first produced.

All necessary materials and tools are provided, but it’s up to your group to design and build the chairs. They can be donated to area non-prof-its or taken back to your company.

All teams will be designated to an 8’x 8’ area, while connected to one another. Each team must utilize the limited supplies provided to them (e.g., PVC, duct tape, stakes) to help deliver a small steel ball from one end of the room to the other. Each team’s section of the pipeline must connect with the one before and after and so on. The metaphor of “delivering the product to the customer” is aperfect way to describe this exciting and brain-teasing activity. CORPORATE PICTIONARYThis fun, competitive activity involves several rounds where one team member will be provided with a word (which can be either corporate

jargon or company specific language) which they will then need to draw, act or sculpt out of putty for their team to guess.

A winner will be awarded based on the most correctly guessed words in the fastest amount of time.

As short as a minute in du-ration, each challenge can be a standalone event or incorporated into our Geo-Trekking as checkpoints. BASECAMP Imagine a small team, equipped with a single headlamp, entering into a pitch-black conference room…the light shines into wafting clouds of mist and fog as participants search for scattered pieces of equipment located across the “mountain.” The feeling of rushing wind simulating mountain weather, plus the sound of 100 mile per hour winds are an experience that cannot be forgotten.

ZIPLINE ADVENTURE TOUR – 2 HOURS4 dual ziplines, 1 suspension bridge, Unimog Ride… all within a 2 hour tour! Zoom Ziplines Adventure Tour is a great outdoor adven-ture for all occasions – whether you are looking to relax and enjoy nature, or if you are looking to conquer your fear of heights. This tour is comprised of a series of 4 dual ziplines. Guests are able to race side-by-side as they soar over the trees and zoom over the moun-tain lakes. Each departing tour will have two very knowledgeable and highly trained guides that will inform you about the local area and the art of ziplining. You will begin your tour with a short ride on the “Trainer Line,” which is roughly 200 feet in length and will give you a good overall feel for ziplining before you are transported to the top of the mountain to the 3 main ziplines.

Here you will soar on a series of 3 side-by-side ziplines ranging in distance from 750-1500 feet and reaching up to 200 feet above the mountain lakes. Towards the end of the zipline tour, guests will cross a 200 foot suspension bridge, which crosses over the mountain lake – leading to an open clearing where you will hop on board the Zoom Ziplines customized Unimog.
