Initiative Tasks are a series of creative problems which the group, as a team, must solve. They become more difficult as the program progresses. Tasks may involve creating the highest free standing tube tower, walking on land skis 6 students at a time, or moving a marble through fitted PVC tubing from one location to another (the tubes fit together only in a certain way). These tasks demand strategic thinking, effective communication, leadership and most importantly, co-operation. Our debriefing techniques are thought-provoking and engaging. We can emphasize themes such as inclusion and bullying.
