A. Mindfulness Walk in the Woods
SKILLS DEVELOPMENT 2 & 7
Our certified and professional guides will take your group into the woods. We won’t be meeting Meryl Streep, but your team will enjoy adventuring on the trails, taking in the beauty of the forest and moments for guided personal reflection.
At a predetermined and pristine location, our guide will lead you through some stretches, breathing and mindfulness exercises to create an environment that will facilitate an openness to new learning.
B. Photo Scavenger Hunt
SKILLS DEVELOPMENT 1 - 7
Our photo Scavenger hunt is one of our most popular packages. Using their phones, your teams will use their creativity and innovation to take pictures or create videos of specific things.
​
On the trails in the forest they will work together to find or create locations to accomplish their tasks.
While your group enjoys refreshments and corporate social/debrief time, ISA will put together the photos so you can sit back and enjoy the show along with some good laughs and fun awards!
C. Art In The Park
SKILLS DEVELOPMENT 1 - 7
This package is next level creative thinking, and a fun hike all in one.

Fresh air, exercise and good conversation are often conducive to brainstorming great ideas and beginning to flush them out. The guided hike will give teams the opportunity to connect by talking together and planning the creative assignment given.
​
After the hike they will work together to use items collected, complete their work of art and present it's significance to the other teams.
