Competition Comparison

Throughout the country over 95% of ropes courses are located at summer camps.  The local summer camp is open all summer to campers and the ropes course is part of their experience.  The ropes is facilitated by summer camp staff that range in age from 16-22 years of age.  During the non-summer months, the ropes course is seldom used and may become dormant. 

One Day Adventures utilizes ropes courses all over the country for their corporate team building programs.  Unlike summer camp staff, our facilitators have advanced degrees in leadership and team building.  Our facilitators know how to utilize the high ropes course experience and extract the learning and apply it to work-related situations.  One Day Adventures facilitators deliver an authentic and real-time team building program.  Our facilitators understand team development and how to make what is learned about the team during the ropes course event transfer back to the workplace. 

One Day Adventures' facilitators are also technical experts with the programs they facilitate.  Not only do our facilitators debrief the ropes course experience and assist in the transfer of learning to the workplace, they also are certified ropes course technicians and builders.  A One Day Adventures facilitator can build your team and teach you about the safety equipment at the same time!

There are other team building companies that utilize ropes courses around the country as well.  These tend to be large team building providers that offer tens to hundreds of team building programs to their clients.  With such a large array of offerings, how can the company really be experts at each program if they only do it a few times a year?  In reality, what happens is the large team building company relies on the summer camp to provide the team building program which puts you back to square one with sub-par facilitators.  Even if your group is out to just have fun, why not work with us and we will amaze you with how we can work quality team building into even the most reluctant groups.  The ropes course is a great activity by itself, but there is no team development if facilitators cannot provide transfer of the learning from the ropes course to the work-place.  Whether the goal is light or specific team building, One Day Adventures will make sure team development occurs and that everyone has a great time!
