Week 2 - Residential week
The
teambuilding residential week is a five day intensive teambuilding week
away which offers learners a chance to push their mental and
physical boundaries to the limit in trust and teambuilding, confidence
and communication. For our week 2 teambuilding residential
we currently take our learners to Prince's Trust approved residential
centre(s) in the peak district, Derbyshire, with activities delivered
by qualified instructors of 'Foundry Mountain Activities', overviewed
by the group's Team Leader.
Each Team cooks and cleans for each
other and take part in mental and physical activities (depending on
weather conditions) such as:
- Rock climbing
- Abseiling
- Caving
- Problem solving activities
- Team-building challenges
- Orienteering
- Raft building
- Bridge building
This week is certainly not a holiday and learners must be prepared for long days of physically and mentally challenging activities but the results are very exciting, fun and rewarding. It allows team members to gain much better knowledge of each others skills and abilities in preparation for the rest of the programme.
