An Adventure Based
Experiential Learning
and Team Building
Workshop
This team building and experiential
learning workshop takes one away
from the familiar environment and
places students into an environment
of experimentation. Therefore this
allows participants to be challenged,
to think about and experiment with
new concepts, and to take some risks
(calculated).

Synchronization
The essence of this programme is that the
members of the team, work well together
either as a group from the outset or initially
simply compliment each other as individuals
in which case the team building process will
progress smoothly.
The potential compatibility of any particular
individual with the rest of the team will be
critically important for the team to succeed.
Activities that
we conduct
Trust fall
Trust fall is a classic
activity because it is so
effective at helping a
team to explore the issue
of trust. Each member
has to fall backwards
from a height of 5ft on
the stretched arms of
his/her team members.
Learn to tie Knots
 This allows the students to
use the rope for many special
purposes. Like to let them tie
into the rope, anchor
themselves and also to join
ropes of equal and unequal
diameters.
Parallel Ropes
These are two parallel lines tied at a
certain height in which the students will
have to cross from one side to the other,
holding the top line and balancing with
their feet on the bottom line. This activity
develops
compassion,
empathy,
communication and cooperation amongst
group members.
Parallel Ropes
Monkey Crawling
This is an activity which requires a lot of
physical strength and determination. Each
member has to traverse on a thick jute rope
using the arm and calf muscles. During the
activity a belay is tied for safety reasons.
Swing Ladder Climbing
A
comparatively
easy
activity which involves
climbing a ladder made of
ropes and bamboos freely
suspended from a tight
wire swinging in air. The
height of the ladder can go
up to 10 mtrs.
Burma Bridge
An improvised bridge made of
ropes, used to cross rivers, crags
and gorges’ during the Burmese
war. This activity increases self
confidence of the participants. If
tied loose, this is not as easy as it
appears to be.
Double Jumaring
Jumaring is a method of climbing vertical ropes
using mechanical devices known as ‘Jumars’
(ascenders). The key to Jumaring is to grasp the
correct technique in the beginning; otherwise it
takes away the entire strength of the arms
Tent Pitching and use of
improvised shelters.
Participants learn the art of pitching ‘A’ shape
tents, selecting the campsite and the concepts
of tents as an alternate means of shelter in
the wilderness.
Twine
Twine is a rope course in which the
students have to cross from one side
to the other holding the dangling
lines suspended from a horizontal
rope on top. This requires the
students to stretch their arms to the
extreme to reach the suspended
ropes.
Tyrolean Traverse
This is a method of crossing rivers in
the mountains. The participants are
anchored with the harness to a fixed
horizontal line and have to pull their
body weight from one side to the
other using the strength of their
arms.
Cat Walk
Participants are required to balance
on their fours on the two ropes tied
adjacent to each other. This challenge
allows the participants to expand
their comfort zone and recognize
fears that may block personal
achievements
Single Jumaring
Learning to climb vertical
ropes with the use of a
single jumar attached to
the harness of the
climber.
Net Climbing
A member is required to
climb a matrix of ropes.
This activity provides fun
fitness challenge at each
individual students pace.

Innovative Maze
Teams have to find the correct path

more traditional forms. Elemental forms
of group intelligence and systems
thinking are often the most appropriate
means of overcoming organizational
challenges.

This is a game in which
a
situation of conflict is created
and the teams have to convert
it into that of collaboration
instead and take as much as
they can
