Teambuilding
A winning team is one that continually self-evaluates, adapts to new situations, and is comfortable making changes. These skills do not simply emerge—groups learn these skills through challenging programs like ours. The training that we offer will help teams learn to constantly improve their efficiency.
Our programs are designed for both existing groups and newly created teams. Our supervised outdoor activities require participants to identify and solve problems, work as a unit and as individuals. Through tailored group activities that may include rock climbing, backpacking, orienteering, and project-based initiatives, we assist the individuals and the group, provide a framework for self-analysis, and help apply outcomes to the actual work environment. We offer customized courses and a variety of environments.
Our approach to our programs involves the following:
- Warm-up activities.
- A review of the characteristics of high performance teams
- Group projects that stretch the limits of the individuals, and that strengthen and rely on trust.
- Facilitated discussions follow exercises and reinforce the learning process.
- Discussions that give emphasis to applying lessons to the community.
- Opportunities to give feedback on the program’s process.
- Problem-solving activities that increase in complexity. These activities rely on teamwork and communication, and encourage leadership

Why Orientation?
Quite simply, new student orientation programs work. Work to create lasting bonds between students which has been proven to translate to happier customers and higher retention rates. Some schools run their own Orientation programs with minimum yearly budgets of 20,000 and up. ETA can offer your school a professionally staffed program, with minimum financial and staffing commitment from your institution. All of our Orientation offerings are designed to;
- Set the stage for positive interactions
- Help identify common school goals
- Develop lasting relationships
- Celebrate school diversity
- Build peer support systems
The depth to which each of these goals can be met depend upon the amount of time and level of student involvement. Typically, the longer the trip, the greater the interpersonal bonds that are created.
