Teambuilding & Leadership Weeks

A great way to start the term off and bond your group. Activities are chosen that are particularly effective in building morale and team spirit whilst having fun!
The sessions are delivered in a way to place emphasis on trust and team working skills and together with our creative challenges provide powerful team building experiences for the group.

We look at what makes someone a good communicator and put active listening to the test! Pupils become aware that everyone’s opinion and input matters. They are encouraged to look for and value the strengths in others and respect each others differences.

During the week pupils become aware of the different leadership styles and the vital ingredients that make up a true team. They practise skills to reflect and learn from experiences. By the end of the week pupils have become far more confident and have significantly developed their inter-personal skills.

Choose your programme from the following activities

Surfing

A must if you are in Cornwall !

Whether it’s getting the buzz from your first wave or the challenge of learning to bottom turn on a green wave your surfing moments will stay with you forever.

Bodyboarding

Another thrilling way to surf the waves. Just enjoy catching the broken waves close to the beach or try out some radical manoeuvres - 360s, aerial re-entries and tube rides.

Kayaking

An incredibly versatile sport. It has everything from tranquil paddling up calm rivers to the adrenaline rushes from white water rapids, battling against the surf or taking on a solo ocean crossing.

Canadian Canoeing

A great way to journey. This is the method of transport that the Indians used to use. Our canoes can carry from 2 to 4 people in a boat and provide a perfect activity for a group to enjoy.

Climbing

Experience real exhilaration and the satisfaction of conquering a rock face with the sea crashing beneath you. Start off on an easy route to gain confidence and then take on a tricky one and get the rush of being exposed on a rock face.

Abseiling

You can’t beat the thrill of abseiling down a Cornish cliff face. As you descend you can marvel at the spectacular views all around. A great confidence boost.

Coastal discovery/walking

We are spoilt for choice for fabulous walks - anything from an easy stroll to walking on challenging terrain crossing breathtaking valleys with steep climbs. Fantastic for wildlife.

Coastal traversing

An unusual activity where you make your way along the base of the sea cliffs over or under whatever comes your way. Pick your route and try to stay dry!

Orienteering

A fun and diverse sport for everyone. Potter - walk - run - compete. Learn and then put your navigation skills to the test in our huge forest stretching down to the sea.
