The Bishop Gravatt Center

Building Teamwork in an Outdoor Setting Benefiting the Individual and the Organization.

The Adventure & Discovery Center is designed to:
  • Develop leadership skills
  • Increase self-esteem and confidence
  • Build teamwork and communication skills
  • Foster greater creativity and productivity in the work environment
  • Reduce stress and enhance awareness of healthful lifestyles

The Adventure and Discovery Center is a combination of outdoor problem solving activities, group initiatives, ropes course and debriefings. The program is a blend of action and reflection which draws on the resources of the participants as well as the facilitators. Challenge course activities are NOT about athleticism or determining who was the quarterback or cheerleader in school. Although the activities have a physical, dynamic component, most of the challenge and activity take place internally. Activities are designed to foster interpersonal communications, to stimulate personal reflection, and to offer opportunities for personal growth and additional ways of relating to colleagues, family members, or others.

The challenges compel participants to examine their own reactions and responses in new situations, encouraging critical assessments and open communications resulting in constructive actions.
