What Is It?
Survivor Island rescue is the ultimate blend of learning driven team building and team bonding. The first half of the activity sees teams compete in a number of physical Island Survivor themed challenges and for the second half teams must escape the island using an adaptation of our hugely successful Rock My Boat activity. Is this the ultimate team building activity? We think it’s pretty close.
Why?
This blended program is specifically for companies that want strong learning outcomes AND an amazing, high energy, team bonding experience at the same time. If you can’t decide between our stronger learning driven programs, or our amazing team bonding experiences, then you can have both.
Survivor Island Rescue
Inspired by the TV show, teams complete a series of survival themed tasks. This includes crossing the quick sand, working together to secure their water, identify building materials and designing, building and racing their boats off the Island. Survivor Island Rescue delivers solid learning outcomes and self-reflection on the theme of high performing teams, with well-structured debriefs after each activity to draw out the key learning.
