What is the “Quest”
It is a series of group challenge and team exercises to develop the whole team ready to complete the final “Quest”
Lets change the way we run, and you experience your residentials and team building challenges.
The Residential is based on Dartmoor, but we can also bring the challenges and “Quests” to you on a smaller scale to fit in with your budget and time scale.
The challenges could include abseiling down a rocky outcrop to save your team, or battling up the river gorge to find the missing treasure. Or crawling throw the rocky holes to escape from the ensuing disaster. The challenges are endless.
Prepare to be amazed at the challenges we can provide and your skills you will learn to complete them.
LETS MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!
For the smaller challenges:
These could be !!
Learn to build your team fire and cook on it to survive the night.
Build a free standing bridge to cross that gorge.
Build a shelter to protect your team.
The challenges are endless.
Your mission: Assemble a team, break your code and build your team kit to locate your Quest camp, then complete small group challenges to prepare the team for the main “Event”. Guided by the quest leader, locate the team objective and complete the tasks.
Operating outdoors allows children & adults to develop self-confidence, independence and self-esteem. They also become aware of limits, boundaries and challenges in their surroundings
When we play in the great outdoors, We are more likely to:
try new activities
engage with others
solve problems
explore the natural environment
make friends
show resilience
Our “Quests” could be environmental to help save the planet, There could be a natural disaster and our team is challenged to help save their team!!
You might have something in your curriculum or business you are trying to achieve, We can adapt the challenge to fore-fill these requirements.
