Team Enhancement

"Hike up!" to greater success!

• Team Enhancement offers your group some dynamic insight into quality leadership and how to be successful in life, work and pleasure. It can assist toward the development of effective business and life paradigms; ways to improve what your corporate group is already doing well.

• Developing deep, honourable and committed relationships as a result of dissolving barriers between teammates. This allows the team and organization to operate efficiently while upholding the highest standards for themselves and the community at large.

• This program is individually tailored for groups striving for a better understanding of how to effectively work together. The featured speaker is Snowy Owl owner and founder Connie Arsenault who has not only met 28 years of challenges, managing thousands of teams of canines and humans - and co-founded the Alberta International Sled Dog Classic and was the Western Regional Director of the International Sled Dog Racing Association.

• There are many interesting similarities in interacting with both species - and this is all 'driven home' as your team learns to master the coordination of the dogs out on the trail. This is truly team building at its best!

• Additional to Connie's conference presentation, you'll have the option of taking either the introductory or the half-day sled trips. If your thirst for adventure is greater you can add other longer and more intense adventure options, completely customizing your experience.
