AVENTURA WORD HUNT

The Aventura Word Hunt is a fun and organized activity that integrates the Adventure Park circuits into a team building opportunity. Participants split into teams of 8-12 and work as a team to find words hidden throughout our circuits (adapted to age requirement). Each team must wisely use their resources and skills of collaboration and communication to swiftly and safely identify the hidden words. Each word has a varying value. The team has an hour to find as many words as possible with minimal clues. The winning team will be announced and get bragging rights.

ODYSSEY Plus

In order to thrive, students must learn to work together. How does a team learn the importance of communication, collaboration and trust? During this experiential team-building program, participants work through a series of engaging challenges (both low and high ropes), where students must work together while using their skills of problem solving, planning, collaboration, communication, leadership, and innovation.

Throughout the day, Aventura facilitators work with the group to process the experience and participants have the opportunity to share and reflect on their experiences. Part of the fun is the competition, and each member of the winning team receives a complementary ticket to Aventura Parks!

AVENTURA DISCOVERY

Spending time and playing in nature is essential for children’s cognitive development. The Aventura Discovery Program combines various activities that help children develop life skills and collaboration. On our Discovery, children encounter diverse opportunities for decision making that stimulate problem solving and creativity.

Aventura Discovery focuses on the base of the learning pyramid with vestibular, proprioceptive and tactile activities to encourage the development of finer skills that are needed throughout life, as well as animal interaction to promote social skills, while children play.

Playing in nature is complemented by learning about nature, its importance in our lives, and how to protect it. Children are exposed to different elements and are guided through our nature trail to learn more about the flora and fauna of the UAE. Children will be exposed to concepts related to sustainability and simple gardening throughout the program.

NATURE WALK PLUS

A mix of fun and discovery. The Aventura Nature Walk is a guided activity through our forest where students explore over 30 species of UAE flora and fauna as well as pay a visit to Aventura’s pets.

This field trip also includes a one-circuit experience in the Adventure Park for thrilling fun on rope bridges, swings and zip-lines.

LEADER IS YOU

Leader Is You—An Introduction to Leadership and Self Discovery
A program that emerged from years of practice with groups who do not immediately consider themselves as leaders but benefit from doing so, such as students.

A learning experience that utilizes concepts from Covey, Reiss, Goleman, Cuddy, and Sinek and ties these concepts to both indoor and outdoor activities. This experience has elements of survival, leadership development and team building along with concepts of emotional intelligence, which are integrated into the program.

Students work together through indoor and outdoor activities designed to build self-awareness, responsibility and accountability. Time management and planning tools are highlighted and journaling is encouraged.

The objective of the program is to set short term and long-term personal goals based on strengths and dreams.
