Bridge Building

What is Bridge Building? 

An outdoor team building activity that requires leadership and collaboration. The name suggests exactly what it is: you must build a bridge from one side of a river to the other.

The team meets their instructor and is given a full brief on side A of the river. The brief is to get 400 wooden blocks from side A of the river to side B without getting them wet. They must build using the equipment provided and a conveyor belt transportation device to transport the blocks across the river. The team must construct a foot bridge in order to get themselves to side B of the river. The final challenge is to construct a round tower. The tower must stand for 10 seconds in order for the task to be deemed a success.

This experience requires the entire team to work together to complete a large task. If a team does not sub divide into smaller groups, the task will not be completed in time. All safety equipment and professional instruction is provided so you are in good (safe) hands! 

How does Bridge Building help your team? 

Bridge Building is a real team builder as the entire team totally depends on each team member to complete the tasks. The experience ensures that all team members do their “bit” as this is the only way to ensure overall success. Teams must decide on issues such as leadership, delegation, time management, making efficient use of the tools at hand, and communication. 

Key Learning Outcomes: 

• Uniting teams 
• High energy
• Time management 
• Role delegation 
• Communication skills
