“Silver Bay offers Team Building and Leadership Development programs that meet the needs and goals of your corporate group, youth group, non-profit group, school, family reunion, college, or university.”
Ropes Course
The course, designed to teach teamwork and leadership skills, is spread across a dozen stations in a wooded area on the south side of our campus. Stations include several clearings, raised wood platforms and a “Spider Web” - a series of ropes strung between trees. Programs are tailored to the needs of each group, covering topics such as communication, thinking without boundaries, mutual support and looking beyond face value.
Silver Bay’s staff are trained in the safe used of Ropes Course stations and will vary exercises based on the number of participants, maturity level of each group and - of course - the weather. Facilitators ensure a safe emotional and physical atmosphere for all participants. Silver Bay will help any group work together as a team and develop their leadership potential. The Ropes Course is suitable for participants aged eight to 98.
Certain elements from the course are portable and can be brought to your location or set up indoors – during inclement weather.
Wilderness Initiative
Hiking, orienteering and problem solving promotes leadership and group work. Our facilitators ensure the emotional and physical safety of the group as it negotiates the wilderness above Silver Bay. This 3-hour to full-day program includes bush-whacking, off trail scrambling and other initiatives – tailored to suit the needs of the group - on pristine land with frequent lake views.
Dropping
This team building activity challenges your group in the dark! At dusk, the group is lead away from home. The challenge: find your way back to home base! Groups are continuously monitored by a facilitator to ensure uncompromising safety. This amazing activity can also be adapted to multiple groups – introducing a complex level of group interaction.
Climbing Wall
Our 25-foot climbing wall offers fun and adventure for all ages in a safe and encouraging environment. The wall is suitable for beginning to experienced climbers and Silver Bay can provide sessions ranging from a full introduction to the sport of climbing, to “Clip and Go” sessions to practice and improve your climbing skills.
