Developing the Next Generation of Leaders

Team Building & Leadership Events

At Pinnacle Pursuits we recognize diverse learners with unique learning styles, and we celebrate and honour those individual differences through our team-building and leadership events.

Designed with your learning and training objectives in mind, each of our custom team-building and leadership events brings individuals together to complete a variety of challenges. These activities are sure to foster an appreciation for each team member’s strengths, and increase the group’s awareness of the importance of shared work and play within a team or community.

Participants will examine the potential they hold to be leaders in their lives, the lives of others, and the world they live in.

Our events focus on building leadership, positive group dynamics and teamwork skills in young people. Where the traditional education system is based on intellectual intelligence and academic success, the focus of our team-building programs are to help youth learn to balance their mental competence with other personality and character-building traits. Participants will come away from our workshops with new understanding of the critical social-emotional skills necessary for building their self-confidence and succeeding in life. Each in-person program we offer has been assessed and adapted to be COVID conscious as safety is our priority!

Our Team-Building & Leadership Programs can happen at your school or off-site at a local park. Options include:

Team Spirit Challenge Celebration Event

Wearing team colours, teams compete in a series of creative and engaging team building challenges, staged in a rotation-based format. Team members must learn to work together effectively to successfully complete various physical and mental challenges which may include solving giant puzzles, transporting valuable resources, designing and building structures and much more. With its focus on individual and team strength, this event is designed to promote teamwork and collaboration and for classmates to build a strong sense of community.

    Watch Our Wild Skills Program In Action

    Over the course of two days we took 200 students to Crippen Park on Bowen Island for an immersive wilderness skills masterclass. In a beautiful outdoor classroom and with extensive COVID-19 safety procedures in place, these students were able to learn real life skills that may have taken a backseat in today’s world.
