Outdoor Teambuilding
 

TrueNorth Team Navigation!™ is our unique team building program, where we facilitate outdoor teambuilding using maps and compasses (the international sport of Orienteering).

 

We divide the group into small teams. They will learn how to use new tools and data to locate hidden checkpoints to solve a puzzle and open a treasure chest!

 

Corporate Teambuilding

The program is a 1/2 day format using a downtown Indianapolis setting or a suburban forest setting (Eagle Creek Park).

 

See Link at top of page, for more details.

 

  • Debriefs-connect activity back to the workplace

  • Fun Awards!

  • Real treasure chest!  

We also take pictures of the groups and prepare a fun photo-slide show DVD as a keepsake!  

 

Schools/Youth Groups

The unique school program is a week-long, designed for 5th grade and above, that engages small teams of students for 2 interactive days in/at their schools, that prepares them for a field trip to Eagle Creek Park. 

 

See Link at top of page, for more details.

  

On the field trip the students become the teachers, as they teach their chaperones how to Team Navigate!™ in the woods

 

  • Real Maps & Compasses

  • Multiple Puzzles

  • Treasure Chests

  • Student Problem-Solving

  • Student Decision-Making

  • Student Rotating Roles

  • Student Centered & Led 

 

Youth Programs have a 1/2 day field trip option at Eagle Creek Park, or a similar 2-day prep version, similar to the school program above, leading to a field trip to Eagle Creek Park.

 

Photography

We also take pictures of the groups, and prepare a fun photo-DVD slide show as a keepsake!
