 |
Based on ideas used for
Management Training and by the Armed Forces. Arena
have developed a series of Team Tasks that are
designed to develop an individual’s ability to work
together as a group when faced with various
scenarios often unrelated to normal everyday life.
Participants are divided into groups, briefed on the objectives of a particular task, the materials available, and the ground rules. We look for and encourage, individual skills such as initiative, leadership, creativity, decision making, flexibility and team building. As well as being great fun, the competitive element and teamwork development will be of great use now and in the future. Ideal for Schools, 6th Form Colleges, Youth Clubs, Scouts, Guides and similar organisations. |

| Junior Orienteering | Click here for more... | |
  |
Arena has developed various
orienteering sessions, both half and full day, which
can be used either as a competitive team building
event or for field day trips. Set in the heart of
South East England on 250 acres and overlooking the
300Ha of Bewl Water, you have access to miles of
woodland tracks, bridle paths, country lanes and the
13 mile Bewl perimeter walk. Using 1:25.000 scale maps, compasses are not required as field boundaries are shown in detail to aid navigation. Teams will be issued with a list of map references, each of which relates to a cryptic clue. The answer can only be found by visiting the actual spot. The most distant places will be worth more points, but they cannot all be visited in the time allowed. Teams can either work together as one group or split into 2 sections to cover as much ground as possible within the time constraints. A half-day Orienteering can be combined with the Team Tasks, whereby the morning’s points can be used to buy equipment necessary to achieve the afternoon tasks. This activity is for school groups only as they are off-site for some of the event. |
