The program starts off with group games and then moves on to our<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">\u00a0low elements and some programs can finish with a high element. The emphasis is on building connections within a group and getting to know each other. This program is mobile; we can bring it to your site! Additional fees will be added for travel costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p>Half-Day (4-Hour Program): This program starts with warm-up activities designed to break down barriers and to get the group prepared for the day. From here, we customize programs which can include group initiatives and problem solving activities to provide a mental and physical challenge for the group to solve. We often incorporate high and low elements which will continue to stretch the group\u2019s dynamic to enhance team building.<\/p>\n<p>Full-Day (8-Hour Program): If your group wants an opportunity for self assessment, reflection, and an introduction to team-building, a full-day challenge course program goes deeper into group dynamics and can help break through roadblocks that often challenge a group\u2019s success.<\/p>\n<p>Other Custom Contracts: Maine Bound offers the option to choose specific activities and design custom programs. We have also partnered with other organizations to offer ecology and environmental science classes to combine outdoor experiences with environmental education. Some of our most popular trips are listed below. For details, please email um.mainebound@maine.edu. We are also happy to create custom programs that involve multiple sports.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-195785 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/mainebound\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/462\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-07-at-12.31.00-PM-1-300x249.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/mainebound\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/462\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-07-at-12.31.00-PM-1-300x249.png 300w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/mainebound\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/462\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-07-at-12.31.00-PM-1-105x87.png 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/mainebound\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/462\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-07-at-12.31.00-PM-1-317x264.png 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/mainebound\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/462\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-07-at-12.31.00-PM-1-423x352.png 423w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/mainebound\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/462\/2020\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-04-07-at-12.31.00-PM-1.png 522w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; How much do you know about Maine Bound\u2019s challenge course opportunities?
