Programs

Pacific Adventure Learning (PAL) will provide an unforgettable and educational experience in team building, self-confidence, leadership, communication, trust, and fun! Our forested outdoor challenge course is open year-round and can provide exceptional programming for up to 75 students, campers, athletes, staff, co-workers or club members at once.

PAL customized programs work toward the goals of each group. If your class is working on creating leaders we will focus our attentions toward building leadership skills. If your workplace is experiencing low productivity and morale, we’ll focus on building communication skills and interpersonal relationships. We will work with you before your program to tailor a program that will address your objectives for the group. Below are some of our most asked for program platforms:

 

       


Program Platforms

Bring your group to share in the “Total Ropes Course Experience,” our most in-demand program (4 hours). Our facilitators will engage your participants in learning and adventure through dynamic initiatives near the ground, then high above the forest floor. Initially utilizing our low ropes course, groups work together to gain valuable skills in communication, cohesion, leadership, and trust. These skills will be put to the test while encouraging and assisting each other during the second half of the program on the high ropes course.

“Learn the Ropes” is our three hour version of the ropes course. Utilizing both our low ropes course and then a brief time on the high ropes course, participants will experience the concepts of trust, teamwork and effective communication first hand. Similar to our Total Ropes Course Experience, but in a shorter timeframe, participants will begin to Learn the Ropes of success and group unity.

If you only have a brief time for a program, our "Taste of Challenge" program will be perfect (2 hours). This program is an introduction to the course. It includes a two-hour session of team building initiatives on or near the ground. Our low ropes course provides quality programming effective in enhancing communication skills, building trust, encouraging team work, elevating problem solving abilities, and fostering stronger friendships.



In House Programs
Alternatively, if you don’t have the time or resources to come to us, allow us to come to you. PAL can provide excellent custom programming right from your classroom, office, gymnasium, or conference. Invite us to your location and we’ll provide the rest.


Corporate Programs
Professional groups can utilize any of our aforementioned programs, or allow us to create a one or multi-day workshop for you that would incorporate both classroom and experiential learning styles. For more information on our corporate programs please access www.pacificadventure.org


Other Adventures:
PAL can also work with you to provide a team-building program that is totally unique. We have had organizations: racing against other teams to complete tasks around the Lower Mainland, scouring Vancouver for clues to finish their mystery, engaging in simulated “rescue” missions from remote locations, and participating in midnight madness at our ropes course in the dark. The possibilities are endless.

My favourite part of any day at the ropes course is when the group comes together to successfully complete a task for the first time. I love seeing their response to their first taste of success. What's even better is their eagerness to try the next task and implement what they have learned.”
