Team Building
Organizations and businesses large and small come to YMCA Camp Warren to include a Team Building experience with their conference or retreat. Our Conference Coordinator will help you design a full or half day program. Our Team Building Program offers the opportunity to explore leadership and teamwork through experiential activities.
Our High Circuit Course towers forty feet above the ground where participants access a series of platforms through various obstacles. Participants enter the course on a ladder and descend from the trees on a zip line.
The Pamper Pole challenges individuals to set goals and build self-confidence as they climb, and if they choose to, jump from the top of a 28-foot pole with their safety systems.
The Giant’s Ladder is a 30-foot “giant ladder” that is anchored at the top but is loose at the bottom. Participants climb in pairs and challenge themselves to climb up as far as they can. Each climber must cooperate, support, and trust their partner.
The Climbing Tower is a 40-foot tower that provides an arena for participants to develop teamwork while climbing solo or connected to another climber. Participants climb as far as they can while being supported by the rest of the group.
Low Ropes are exciting collaborative challenges that our staff tailors to meet the group’s needs. The ultimate goal is to provide a fun, safe environment in which your group can build trust and communication through teamwork.
