We offer a day long or an overnight team building class, where your kids will get to work from the ground up in our team building exercises. We will go from simple ice breakers, to team challenges, to low ropes and finally some high ropes activities.
The day long program will still offer many of the activities and will be an exciting and educational adventure for your class. Students must bring a bagged lunch.

Nature Science
Interested in being more hands on, our Nature Science program offers a chance for your class to get outdoors and be scientific. We will go through a series of science experiments like why does the sky change color when the sun sets, or what is Bernoulli’s Principle, and then discuss our results. This is a great opportunity for some of the science things you might not normally get to see while in the classroom.
Nature Science: $3 per participant
Art in Nature
We also offer a great chance to see how Nature can inspire us artistically. Your class can take the opportunity to use nature for inspiration, reference and materials. We will examine how nature played a part in art throughout history and get to try some neat nature art projects like leaf tie dye, and papermaking.
