Amicalola Falls State Park & Lodge – Dawsonville, GA
Need to get your team in a different environment that is fun and refreshing but still enables them to build on their communication, problem-solving, and trust-building skills? Been to a lot of team-building sites that are the same thing but with different names?
Not at Amicalola Falls State Park & Lodge. Our team building is unique, but still enables the group to work together on issues that need to be addressed and therefore improve workplace environment and performance.
Teambuild on our amazing Zip Line Canopy Tours. We combine experiential adventure with team-building challenges so that our participants can get the best of both worlds: Fun and Learning! Great for corporate, church, youth and even family type groups! Minimum of 8 participants to open the zip line canopy tour with a maximum of 35 per group. Minimum of 7 participants for the ground exercises and low ropes course and 10 participants for high ropes course.
Restrictions do apply: Minimum weight is 90 lbs. with max weights for girls at 250 lbs. and guys at 285 lbs. to participate in the zip line canopy tour. Closed toe shoes required. For groups larger than 15 people, the group will be split into teams to assist with better flow during the day. Programs are suitable for all ages. If interested in these activities, they must be scheduled by visiting amicalolazipline.com or calling 706-265-1233.
Start the morning with ground challenge elements that get the group working on communication, trust, critical thinking, and bonding. Then begin the zip line canopy tour. During this excursion, the group will have 4 to 5 ground points where challenge elements must be completed as a group. As each challenge is completed, the group earns the right to continue on to more of the zip line course. We wrap up the day with our Super Zips: Stanley (1,000 ft long) and Ralph (2,000 ft long) over the beautiful Amicalola Gorge valley at over 300 ft high. End the day with the group debrief and learn how to apply the day’s experiences to work and personal life. We start around 9 to 9:30am with end time between 4 and 5pm.
Don’t have time for an all-day event? Enjoy our 3- to 4-hour course! Start with the ground challenge elements as explained with The Wampus and move on to the Level 1 Zip Line Canopy Tour. There will be other ground-level challenge elements for the group to solve that will work on their communication, critical thinking, trust-building skills and more! A group debrief will tie the activity together and focus on what was learned and how to apply to home and work life. Does not include our Super Zips, but both super zips can be added on for an extra $20.00 pp.
Customize your ground-level Challenge Course to focus on the needs of the group. The games and activities are designed to be fun and motivational, while also encouraging communication, planning, problem solving, and conflict resolution. All our activities incorporate decision-making, leadership, teamwork, trust, creative thinking, and following directions. Length of programs depends on needs of group and number of participants. No zip lines are included.
