Teambuilding Residentials

The ability to work as part of a team, think outside the box and communicate with those around you are some of the most important skills to nurture in young people. From school projects and sports teams to academic choices and friendship groups, mastering these skills early can affect all areas of their personal development. Our teambuilding residentials include an array of activities, chosen by the school from our extensive activities list, which are all designed to promote and develop effective teamwork, lateral thinking and communication skills.

The residential can be for a week or a weekend and can be wholly or partly based at the centre, with optional overnight expeditions on Dartmoor available for a truly rural experience. Your visit will be coordinated by one of our lead instructors who will be in touch to arrange the programme and discuss any special needs you may have. We work hard to make sure everyone gets the most out of their experience at The Adventure Centre, whether that involves tackling a fear of heights on the ropes course or paddling a canoe for the first time, and we will even send you a CD of photos after your departure which captures those memorable moments.
