Outdoor Challenge

The Pioneering Power Tower is an outdoor team-building activity that challenges participants to construct a freestanding tower using a variety of ropes, poles and other materials. The goal is for the team to build a stable, vertical structure often with the added challenge of getting everyone to the top of the tower or completing certain tasks at height.

To engage participants in a hands-on activity where they collaborate to design, build, and test a raft that floats on still water. This activity fosters teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity while introducing principles of buoyancy, balance, and materials science.

Low ropes involve a series of obstacles or elements, such as ropes, beams, and balance challenges, set close to the ground. The participants are required to work together to navigate the course, either individually or as part of a group.

​Participants are blindfolded or otherwise unable to use their sight, and they must work together to navigate a trail through a woodland or natural area. The trail is designed to challenge participants' abilities to rely on their other senses—hearing, touch, and smell—to understand their surroundings and move safely.

Design and build a functional catapult using provided materials. The teams will compete to launch objects the farthest, most accurately, or with the highest precision.

This team-building activity involves moving all wooden boards from one side of the space to another, typically using ropes, pulleys, or by balancing them in a specific configuration. The goal is for the team to complete the task while navigating obstacles such as physical space limitations, time constraints, or a need for coordination.

Archery is a sport or activity that involves using a bow to shoot arrows at a target. The goal is to hit the target with precision and accuracy, often from varying distances. Archery requires focus, control, and strength, as well as a good understanding of form and technique.

It involves participants working together to move a large barrel or series of barrels, which are typically positioned on the ground or elevated on a platform. The barrels can be used in various challenges, often involving balance, coordination, and communication skills.

An A-Frame activity involves creating a structure using two straight pieces (like wooden planks or poles) that form an A-shape. Participants work together to build or navigate the frame, either as a physical challenge (like crossing or balancing on it) or a collaborative design activity. 

​Teams will design, construct, and race their own Flintstone-style vehicles or chariots using provided materials. The activity emphasizes creativity, teamwork, and innovation, as each team collaborates to create a functional and race-worthy vehicle. The challenge also involves strategic thinking as teams decide how to balance design, efficiency, and speed.

Enjoy the outdoors, create a relaxing atmosphere, and share a simple, enjoyable experience of toasting marshmallows over an open flame. A classic outdoor experience!
