Corporate Adventures – Company Bonding
Conquering the unpredictable nature of the wilderness enhances teamwork, cooperation and productivity. (Face it – you have to be organized, synergistic and efficient when you're taking on a raging river.) We specialize in corporate adventure training and can also offer professional facilitators to focus your team on specific issues, such as management development, productivity, or staff morale.
Many organizations like yours find our wilderness programs are great alternatives for executive retreats, teambuilding workshops, business meetings employee rewards, and corporate incentive travel. O.A.R.S. Corporate Adventure programs have been specifically designed to cater to organizations operating in today's fast-paced business world, while providing an extremely enjoyable and memorable experience outside of the ordinary work or meeting environments.
Our previous guests include progressive, high-profile organizations including Roseville Communications, YPO San Diego, The Disneyland Resort and many more.
We're excited by the opportunity of putting together a corporate adventure for you and your colleagues. Below you'll find three options from which we can custom-tailor a program to meet your needs.
Company Outings
Ideal as an informal company get-together. The magic of shared adventure develops a sense of renewal and team spirit among participants. 1- and 2-day corporate adventure programs can be arranged with either camping or lodging options. On many rivers we can provide a video of your trip as a lasting memory of your experience together.
Custom Charters
Looking for something just a little out of the ordinary to entertain key clients or reward your staff? Our custom charters offer a unique and unforgettable wilderness setting for your corporate adventure. Any way you want it, we'll take care of the details including travel arrangements, menu planning and custom itineraries -- this is the ultimate in fully catered corporate adventure designed to your specifications.
The Whitewater Challenge
Corporate adventure training entails challenging yourself and your
colleagues with our professionally led
teambuilding adventures.
In conjunction with Dr. Timothy Berry and the Center for Positive Change, we have developed a series of single and multi-day teambuilding programs that build group effectiveness by establishing a solid understanding of team dynamics and field testing them in a series of "real-life" exercises. Depending upon your specific needs and goals, we'll help you create the ideal corporate adventure training program whether for a quick weekend retreat, or a 7-day, focused management workshop.
As a consulting psychologist and leadership coach, Tim helps organizations, family-businesses, and individuals resolve difficult communication problems or bottlenecks (internal and external), which restrict productivity, personal fulfillment, and peak performance. Since he is also a licensed fly-fishing guide and certified whitewater rafting guide, Tim combines his work at his clients' work-site with spectacular water experiences, when appropriate. Experience has proven this approach to expedite the coaching process.
By way of training Tim holds masters and doctoral degrees in both religious studies and psychology. Since 1982 he has been interested professionally in both organizational and leadership development, as well as leadership succession issues. Tim has advanced training in sports psychology, biofeedback, and interactive guided imagery, which makes him particularly effective in coaching leaders who seek to lead from their center.
In addition to a thriving practice, Tim maintains an active schedule of speaking engagements before local and regional groups who wish to enhance performance in their lives.
Whichever option you find best meets your objectives, know that you'll be traveling with dedicated professionals. We use only the best equipment and serve high quality, nutritious and delicious meals.
