Highlights

  • Reach Your Potential
  • Working Together
  • Stronger Relationships

Many organizations are tired of team building courses that do nothing to make their staff more effective in their daily work and sometimes even create negative competition between their staff, leaving them less unified than before the program.  As they spend money on these programs, they are left with staff who are no more efficient than they were before and often times still disgruntled and eager to take job offers from other companies.  This causes organizations like yours to spend even more money and time training replacement staff for these newly “motivated” staff who no longer work for you. 

At BlueSky Adventures, we do things differently.  We will do a needs analysis of your organization to determine the strong points and weak points within your staff and use this information to build your organization a unique program that meets your specific needs. 

Our primary tool for office team building exercises is our Challenge Course. Located at Lukenya Getaway in Athi River, the BlueSky Adventures Challenge Course is a fun, safe environment that will allow your staff to experience quality change and a perfect tool to help your team move from where you are to where you want to be. 

We are equipped to handle a group as small as 8 participants or as large as 150 people.  Depending on the needs of your team, the challenge course offers half day, full day and two day programs. Click here to learn more about our Challenge Course Program.

One of the biggest challenges that keeps organizations from growing to their full potential is the loss of multiple employees year after year.  This happens because new employees are not excited about seeing the organization grow and reach its goals.  At BlueSky Adventures, we will work with you to develop a program, using our Challenge Course, which strengthens your whole team while connecting employees to your Purpose, Vision, and Values.  We will start with your leadership and then move through the entire team.  If you don’t currently have a Purpose statement, a future Vision for your company, or set Values you operate by, we can help you create them.  After getting your staff deeply connected to your organization, we will hold annual or biannual training's to connect new employees to your Vision and Values to ensure they are excited about working with your team right from the beginning.

  • Connects your team to your organizations Purpose, Vision, and Values
  • Builds staff who are excited about reaching organizational goals
  • Regular training for new staff members

Highlights

  • Improve Staff Interactions
  • Equip To Empower Others

Any school or organization that is serious about developing their students to have a positive impact on the world today must also take the development of their teachers and staff seriously.  Professionals in these demanding jobs must be willing to invest in the lives of students outside of the classroom, making an unforgettable imprint in the lives of students by teaching important life skills not found in a textbook.  By choosing less vigorous activities, we use our Challenge Course to help teachers and staff strengthen relationships and equip them with skills needed to improve interactions with students and other staff.
