Team Building Trend: Going MacGyver in Central Park

We get a lot of requests on our team for unique team building activities. We’ve done everything from cell phone-driven scavenger hunts around NYC to go-kart racing. When we saw this UrbanDaddy post about Mountain Scout Survival School, we had to add it to our idea rolodex.

According to UrbanDaddy, the Mountain Scout Survival School is a “Central Park–based wilderness crash course that’ll show you how to build a fire, purify water and turn just about anything into a deadly weapon…

The man in charge of this operation [is] an eccentric former stuntman/SWAT consultant named Shane. Over the course of an afternoon, Shane will teach you how to handle virtually every emergency (or win any bar bet) using only common materials found around you. Tree bark (or a cocktail napkin…) is woven into rope, leaves are built into shelter, and a butter knife and some twigs transform into every squirrel’s worst nightmare.” (Source: UrbanDaddy)

I’d love to use Survival School to build camaraderie with clients, colleagues and friends.  Do you think you’d be up for the challenge?
