Team Building

Water Works

Mix equal parts challenge, team skills, and sticky situations, with a generous dash of laughter. Now add water. It's a recipe for hilarity! Water Works! combines the power of teambuilding with the fun of a day on the beach. This program is staffed with certified lifeguards and professional adventure education facilitators. Participants are first instructed in general water safety and in the correct use of equipment such as life vests and paddles. Then, teams are led through a series of activities in which they must work together to complete tasks. Activities may be 1) competitive and high energy, such as canoe baseball; 2) trust-oriented, such as Canoe Shuffle and Blind-Paddling-the Blind, 3) or highly complex tasks that recreate actual workplace roles, responsibilities, and processes. Teams that fail to work well together or to use caution may suffer instant "wet" consequences! If your team merely needs a little free time, arrange for some time for participants to enjoy the lake, canoes, and beach facilities at their own speed.

Water Works! is a half-day program at our Tigertail lake facility, and is best for groups of 6-40. This program is recommended for teams who prefer a day on the water or who have participated in ropes courses or other types of adventure teambuilding, and are looking for something new and refreshing.
