Module #1: The Complete Grand Prix NASCAR Racing Experience

Experience the high adrenaline thrill of Grand Prix racing combined with the opportunity to

develop a team identity! Every great racing star has an identity – an image their fans can

recognize. During this 30 minute endurance race, your team must not only make the most laps,

but also develop a team name, logo, and slogan, which will be proudly displayed on their race

car. And just like in the NASCAR experience, pit stops will be a necessary part of your journey!

Create a team identity and experience the full impact of Grand Prix racing with this high

adrenaline racing module, combining physical endurance and creative dexterity to produce a

winning team!

Module #2: The Ascent Challenge Strategy Team Climb

Mountain climbing has never been this challenging! Mark Wellman, world famous paraplegic

climber (and a top athlete by any standard), knows what it takes to reach new heights, regardless

of the barriers in his life. His life motto, “Never give up and never give in,” has pushed him to

scale such giants as the granite monster El Capitan in the Yosemite National Park, as well as

traversing the great mountain passes of Europe. Wellman recognizes the importance of working

as a team, no matter what challenges are encountered.

The goal in this challenge is deceptively simple; the team that climbs the highest scores the most

points. Six climbing stations are available on our 40 foot climbing wall… teams must utilize all six

stations in their climb to the top.

Okay, that’s easy. The challenge comes when you discover that some participants are

blindfolded, and some have their legs bound together. Moreover, each team must work together

to create an implementation strategy that will enable all participants to maximize their

performance. We’ve “doctored” the scoring a little to add some incentive for the “disabled”

participants to perform well… now it’s even more important that participants work together as a

team to ensure maximum achievement for all their members.

Module #3: Pro Baseball Pop Fly Challenge

You bunt, you wack the ball… you pitch, you lob the ball… you catch, you place your body under

the ball and happen to prevent it from hitting the ground….

Okay, so Ken Griffey may be somewhat more professional in his approach to baseball than we

are, but that’s okay. Our version of big league baseball makes everyone a winner, with teams

rotating through the duties of pitching, batting, and fielding. The goal here is really super simple –

score as many points as possible in our $4million batting facility by catching as many balls as

possible (yes, even if that means strategically placing your body between the ball and the

ground!).

This timed event offers a lot of assistance with basic batting protocol. Everyone can be a winner,

and everyone participates in every role.

Module #4: Golf Speed Challenge

Finally, accuracy doesn’t matter! Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods may both disagree with our

professional opinion, but we just don’t care. In this team development challenge, your mission is

to sink nine challenging holes on our miniature golf putting green. You may have become

suspicious after reading about some of our other challenge modules as to what we may have up

our sleeve… and you’d be right to question our motives!

Putting a little ball into a hole isn’t usually all that difficult, but it is when you’re blindfolded! Learn

to communicate clearly and accurately on our version of the PGA golf tour (minus the “PGA” part,

of course). Helen Keller said it best when she challenged her audience to imagine how they

would feel if they were stricken blind. “In that dark world,” she said, “wouldn’t you be glad if a

friend took you by the hand and said, ‘Come with me and I will teach you to do some of the things

you used to do when you could see.”1 With that challenge comes our own – work with your team

mates to overcome some significant challenges and putt nine holes as fast as possible; the

quickest nine holes wins.

How good are you at communicating instructions?

Module #5: Game Show Dinner Experience

This is the finale for the Sports Team Challenge Pentathlon. By this stage people are usually

hungry, so we incorporate dinner in to the Game Show Experience. Participants compete, for

their teams (and usually in their teams) for the all-respected first, second, and third place. Game

Show challenges vary, but are based on the Hollywood-style events, complete with lighting, glitter

back drop, rear-screen projection of interactive game show images, full-on professional game

show podiums, an experienced MC, and more. This conclusion to the package will leave your

people energized, excited, and talking about the event for a long time to come!
