Initiatives & Low Element Series

Team Development CourseTM- The Team Development CourseTM (TDC) is one of ATI's most exciting designs for exploring team building principles with almost any population. Participants will be able to hone team building skills such as listening, leadership, planning and communication while embarking on an adventurous and challenging mission. Although simple looking in design, the action and leanings that occur represent some of the most dynamic group initiatives in the adventure education field.

The TDC differs from traditional low challenge events, both in appearance and activities. With more than 40 activities available, facilitators can choose both the activity and the sequencing to best fit the dynamics of the group and the goals of the training experience.

For camps and school programs, the Team Development CourseTM is an ideal choice since a growing number of youth have participated in traditional low element courses. Facilitators are almost guaranteed that all participants will have a "new" experience, from which to build the learning transfer.

For corporate work, the Team Development CourseTM offers programming for groups of up to 72 persons. Few other low element designs offer such precise sequencing, curriculum concentration and group experience. Typically, large groups are divided into task groups, which circulate through the TDC events, and then return at the end of the program cycle to share their experiences with the larger group.

Other Low Initiatives offered by ATI

ATI also offers traditional low element designs, often requested by organizations with the development of a larger adventure course facility. These "old favorites" are time-proven, and may be specifically requested by your seasoned challenge course staff.

All of these designs are built to ATI and ACCT standard. Pricing is based on the events selected, and includes all operational equipment and staff training.

A sample of events that can be selected include:
Whale Watch, Team Wall, Islands, Wild Woozy, Tension Traverse, Mohawk Walk, Nitro Crossing, Zig Zag, Spiders Web, All Aboard, Trust Fall, Trolleys, The Maze, TP Shuffle
