Team Building
The Camp Magruder Team Building Program consists of a series of challenges for individuals and groups, requiring problem solving, communication, cooperation, trust, and teamwork for their completion. The challenges draw on the strengths and commitment of each member of the group. Small groups will be challenged to work together and trust one another while overcoming increasingly more difficult obstacles. The team building program is supervised in a safe, challenging and fun manner.
Team Building programs typically utilize group games, initiatives, and the low ropes course. Facilitated discussions apply learning to interactions and relationships of the group, and encourage personal growth. Recommended group size is 5 to 15 people; larger groups may choose to divide into smaller groups with additional facilitators. Groups must schedule their program at least 2 weeks in advance. In groups of participants under 18 years of age, an adult to student ratio of 1:15 is required.
Team building programs help participants to accomplish the following:
