Experiential Education provides individuals with an opportunity to learn by doing. Camp Winnebago’s 150 acres is an ideal location for your teambuilding program. Some of the elements on the course include a whale watch or “the elephant”, a zig zag, a wild woozy, and a Mohawk walk. The program’s focus could include topics such as communication, problem solving, trust, cooperation, risk taking and goal setting. Half-day, full-day, and multi-day programs can be tailored to fit the dynamics of your group.
