team Adventure Leaderhsip Programs (ALP)
Leadership development at ALP occurs in environmentally based experiential learning programs. That means that we get together and do things that support the development of specific skills that are transferable to other activities and daily life.

Activities include ice breakers, teambuilding activities, hiking, group facilitation activities, travel and learning. ALP is a unique blend of activities that, grouped in certain ways can be tailored to meet group and individuals needs. Contact us for more info or to create a program for your group.
