VENTURE UP: America's Team Builders Since 1983

The age-old art of finding direction, plotting a course and watching coordinates has become a popular team building activity for many Venture Up clients. The dramatic natural features of the wilderness will never be viewed the same, once you learn to use them to navigate your way. It's fun, good exercise and requires no prior experience -- and it's a highly-effective team building activity.

Leaders introduce the basic tools -- the map and compass. Then participants learn skills involving how to read a topographic map, how to quickly measure distance, how to find the azimuth, and how to determine the direction of travel.

Then, it's learn as you go, and have fun as you learn for the rest of the program. Each course begins with easy challenges, which get tougher as the course continues. Strategic Games may be incorporated into this event to add to the challenge at each reference point.
