TEAMBUILDING
Beginning August 9, 2025, the Outdoor Adventure Program will no longer be offering rental equipment or access to the bike shop. To connect with our team, register for one of our free weekly outdoor adventure activities or check out our Climbing Wall facility in Cary St. Gym.

Our programs are designed to build the skills necessary to become a high functioning team, including
- leadership

- communication
- creative problem solving
- conflict resolution
- strategic development
If you are hosting a conference, training, or camp within your university, please give us a call for all your Team building needs.
All of our programs are facilitated by trained and talented graduate and undergraduate student leaders from Virginia Commonwealth University. Contact us to learn more about our Teambuilding programs.
