CAMPUS GROUPS
We all had an amazing time! That is all we talked about the next morning, plus we all compared bruises and soreness levels!! Denise was AMAZING. I appreciated the phone call beforehand so she can get to know the structure of my staff and ask questions to tailor the event. The day of she was very professional, patient and took the time to ease our nerves!" -UCSD ECE Student Affairs
"The entire group has only had positive things to share... repeatedly! The activities were fun and engaging and it was a huge benefit to tie the experiences back to work. Denise did a FABULOUS job!

SPORTS TEAMS
The way the program was run was outstanding. [The] team had a great time and it was much better than my expectations. I would highly recommend to any other group looking for some team building activities. Again I was blown away by the way the instructors broke everything down so that the team really understood what the goal was of each activity. They were both awesome!” -Power Surge Softball

COMMUNITY GROUPS
"Absolutely amazing experience. These two times it has given us much more than we asked or expected. Everyone in our group feels closer as a result, and many life lessons were learned. Denise et al. were fabulous, very generous with time. Kept us safe, yet on the edge where we could learn. Thank you thank you thank you." -Alliant Int'l U.-Existential Psychology "I received many positive comments, but the majority was: "This was our best training ever." The exercises were great..not "corny" but challenging and fun for our level. Everyone enjoyed the challenges very much! All 3 [facilitators] made the experience special. Brent knew when to let our group go with it and when to intervene, this [showed] us all his professionalism of being a good facilitator." - Olivenhain Municipal Water District
