Developing employees to their full potential is the goal of any outstanding organization, and the key to a successful training program
is to make it meaningful AND enjoyable. At Blue Mountain Outdoor Adventure Center, our professional facilitators will weave the perfect
blend of recreational activities and learning exercises to create the ideal setting to take your employees to the next level.
Our core strengths lay in two areas: team building and leadership training. Not only do we have fully qualified professional
facilitators, but the setting for our training also means that participants can turn the theory into practice immediately.

Team Building
Through a combination of indoor and outdoor activities, theory, and practice, participants will learn about the fundamentals of
team building. Watch them grow together as they learn more about themselves, their capabilities, their strengths, and weaknesses.
Our "outdoor" classroom provides an excellent setting for unique team-building exercises such as
- The Spider's Web
- Group Challenge Courses
- Orienteering the Maze
- High Ropes Course
The length of our team-building program is dependent on your time and budget. Your specially-designed program can be anywhere from a
few hours to a few days. Longer programs incorporate more learning options such as goal setting, communication skills, group dynamics,
decision making, and personality typing. |
Leadership Training
Our Leadership Program is well renowned. In fact, Blue Mountain Outdoor Center was host to 1000 students for the Provincial
Leadership Conference.
Our program focuses on the various approaches to leadership. Participants determine their leadership styles and begin to understand
how these styles affect the people they work with. They are also introduced to the five key areas of leadership responsibility:
- Creating a shared vision
- Challenging the status quo
- Empowering members through co-operative teams
- Leading by example
- Encouraging development
Since it's impossible to learn about leadership as a single topic, our program also touches on other critical topic areas such as
decision making and effective communications. The depth of the training depends on your time and budget. |
In addition to our team building and leadership programs, we offer shorter programs of a more specific nature, including
- Group Dynamics - This program is mainly theoretical, but culminates in an activity which allows participants to come up
with a plan to develop an effective group. The importance of groups, nature of groups, types of groups and stages of group
development are covered.
- Group/Team Goals - What is a goal? Why is your group together? What do you plan on accomplishing? Let us help you work
through the process of establishing your goals to give you a clearer understanding of where you're headed.
- Communication Skills - Effective communication is essential in all aspects of life. Hands-on activities demonstrate the
dynamics of the communication process, the results of communication break-downs, and the difference between one-way and
two-way communication.
- Personality Theory - People are different. The way they react in certain situations, handle stress, relate to others,
learn, lead groups, or teach is very dependant on their personality. In this session, using the Colors Personality Profile,
participants determine their color and then through discussion learn how past and present behavior affects their lives and
others they associate with.
- Decision Making - Practical activities are combined with theories to cover the following:
- Effective decision making
- Individual vs. group decision making
- Methods of decision making
- Factors enhancing or hindering group decision
- Approaches to decision making
