TEAM BUILDING

Field Initiatives 

(min age: 1st grade) Using portable games and team-building activities, groups learn communication, planning, and teamwork while completing challenges and solving problems. With outcomes similar to the Team Development Course, this is a great choice during inclement weather or shorter activity times as all initiatives can be completed inside.
