From Recreational Team Building to Professional Facilitation

NEXTeams Team Development is the product of our continuing evolution as an experience-based team building and adventure education provider.  In 2001, we opened GO-AdventureSports – a team building and adventure instruction company dedicated to introducing groups and organizations to enhanced teamwork through ropes courses, portable team building and “extreme sports” instruction.  Over the years and through constant improvements, we began to realize that the programs offered through GO-AdventureSports were beneficial, but limited in the depth to which they could affect change in the performance of a team.  Seeking new and innovative techniques, Eriq Powers (the founder) began to read, attend seminars, and eventually became certified as a Professional Facilitator.  Armed with new perspectives and a renewed enthusiasm, Eriq went through each of his existing team building offerings and improved the benefit to the client by the development of new activities, streamlining classic activities, and cutting activities that seemed to produce less lasting benefit.  The result was a new company, with a more long-view approach to team development.  NEXTeams is “the NEXT Step in Team Development.”  We look forward to serving you.
