Ed-Venture

“I will reflect on this opportunity and remember that communication is vital to the accomplishment of tasks.”

 ~Austin

 “The activities we did were so much more than physical challenges and ways to get the group talking and sharing ideas.    I’ve done a lot of training sessions and workshops on communication and team building in prior jobs, but I’ve never been through an experience like this one.  We left today, not only as a class that is now much closer and bonded, but a class where we almost seem to have our own culture developing.  Creating those bonds is not something that can be taught out of any book or lecture.”

~Jennifer

“This type of teamwork and collaborative problem solving is the bread and butter of police work.”

~Rick

Ed-Venture programming is part of a unique and powerful approach to training. 

An Ed-Venture is composed of a mix of physically and mentally challenging elements designed to provide a metaphor for how individuals and teams handle risk, challenge of change and fear.  Each of the elements can be used in a variety of scenarios to target the goals your organization seeks to accomplish.

The "challenge by choice" approach allows each participant to measure success by their aspirations.  If a participant chooses not to attempt an event, we respect this decision and offer other ways in which the person can participate including providing support through belaying, coaching, or spotting.
