What is Team Building?
Team building programs vary depending upon the program you attend and the philosophy they promote. Activities at each site can range from energetic and physical experiences designed for groups looking to experience a "risk" to a more sedentary, intellectual program. What most of these programs have in common is the belief that team concepts and skills are best taught through experiences, rather than traditional, meeting-room training methods. The principles are abstract, and often require change in perception for people to "get it." Like learning to ride a bike, these programs offer groups opportunities to practice, experiment and get immediate feedback. Through reflection and discussion, groups learn what works and what does not. Since the activities they are involved in have no real consequences, groups can engage in open and honest discussion. They can then capture and transfer learning to actual life applications.
Our Programs
At Camp St. Croix, we offer a comprehensive "curriculum" of teambuilding formats. Each program is specifically tailored to meet the goals and objectives of the group and offer an experience that is uniquely suited to the client.
We offer programs ranging from the traditional activities like Ropes Courses, Climbing Towers and other challenges. Our programs can last as little as two hours. Program costs vary with the number of participants, meals, and length of stay.
Teambuilding Staff
The staff is dedicated to making your visit a successful one. Our staff are carefully selected for their ability to relate to specific groups and many have extensive experience working with a wide variety of groups. All of our staff undergo training and re-certification on an annual basis, with frequent in-services to cover special programs and populations.
