  University Team Development
Doing = Learning

Research shows that we learn best when we are actively experiencing concepts. Experience based training promotes participants’ ability to apply their learning to everyday activities.

For over 20 years, Hemlock Overlook’s Center for Experiential Education has worked with thousands of teams to facilitate active learning, promote team development, encourage communication, and develop new skills for working together.

Our University Team Development Course combines the group problem solving of the low challenge course with the excitement of a high course at the Total Team Challenge. Participants work through a series of activities that take them out of their everyday setting and into an environment of unknown outcomes and often surprising results.

Team members learn how to recognize and utilize different strengths within the group. Cooperation and trust builds with each event.

The end result is a dynamic team with committed team members.

Our University Team Development Course provides experiences that develop:

  • Clear and Effective Communication
  • Trust and Relationship Building
  • Self-Awareness
  • A Powerful Shared Experience

Hemlock Overlook follows the philosophy of "Challenge by Choice" in all of our outdoor programs.
