Team Building

Build Confidence and Create Strong Bonds With Your Team

Frost Valley YMCA’s team-building experts will create a custom program to meet your group’s needs. If you are scheduling a retreat for your own planning and exploration but would like to inject a little adventure and excitement, we can help. If you have a new team that needs a jump start to get to know one another, we’ve got unique icebreakers and intentional activities to form cohesion and mutual understanding. Perhaps you have a group of seasoned coworkers who need to rebuild their creative drive and trust, we can set up a schedule of activities that help with defining roles, enhancing communication, and building trust. Our facilitators help your group redefine goal setting, explore the importance of teamwork, sharpen communication, laugh and enjoy one another, and push the limits moving group members from their sometimes stagnant comfort zones into dynamic, reinvigorated growth zones!

Our dedicated and experienced Team Building staff works with high schools, colleges, sports teams, non-profit organizations, small businesses, religious or spiritual organizations, youth groups, and large corporations.

Some of the organizations that we have hosted include:

Each group visiting Frost Valley YMCA has its own unique goals and objectives. By partnering with each group, we plan a program that satisfies the needs of your group and achieves the goals of Frost Valley’s Team Building Department. Our curriculum guide outlines our unique program offerings, and how each can meet your group’s goals and the New York State Educational Standards.

"The students return from Frost Valley with a greater sense of community. The greatest thing we overhear them say is, 'I never really thought I would be friends with this person, but now I have more respect for everyone.'"
