Division of Student Affairs : Team Building Programs

The Student Recreation Center offers a wide variety of programs for the development of interpersonal skills. The program is conducted by trained facilitators and supervised by professional staff.  Program goals are achieved using a medium of physical, functional, and cognitive recreational activities. The goal is to build confidence in ones self and as a team.

Programs are custom designed for each groups specific needs and wants. Accommodations are made for varied time allotments and any special needs of participants.  

Groups will establish their own goals in advance.  While teambuilding programs are typically 2-hours programs, shorter or longer durations can be accommodated.

Teambuilding programs will focus on one of the following formats:

• Team Activities — Team based, recreational activities are facilitated and processed by trained facilitators. Activities teach and practice communication, leadership, and creative thinking.          
• Climbing Wall — Formal instruction is provided on the basis of the sport of rock climbing.  Participants will learn and practice bouldering, top rope climbing, and belay techniques.          
• Healthy Choices Workshop — Trained facilitators will grade the group in an interactive workshop focused on issues of healthy choices.  Topics may include alcohol & drug use, peer pressure, nutrition, and exercise.

The level of physical/cognitive involvement is determined by the goals and circumstances of the group. Programs can range from fully cognitive to fully physical and any mix in between.
