Adventure Challenge on The National Mall
Last week we had the good fortune to run an Adventure Challenge – a self-led, rotational-style of team building event – for a DC not-for-profit.

Many teams seem to equate ‘team building’ with ropes challenge course programming, and there is definitely a great opportunity for teams to bond and build teamwork while engaging in a low and high ropes course event. The ROPES Course is only one tool... [Read More...]
