OUR PROGRAMS

Our Adventure programs require individuals within the group to work together to overcome obstacles in order to be successful.  The elements test teamwork, communication skills, creativity, and the degree of cooperation within the group.  All elements can be modified to meet the age ability of each group and stations can be adapted to provide comparable experiences for individuals with physical challenges.

In addition, we can deliver our programs to a group or community off-site.  For each program we custom design a meaningful experience involving games, initiatives and portable elements intended to challenge and build the team's trust, perseverance, and leadership.

Listed below are seven basic program areas that successfully use adventure-based education:

  • Community Development
  • Educational/Academic
  • Professional Development
  • Therapeutic
  • Corporate
  • Physical Education/Recreation
  • Spiritual Development

OUR PHILOSOPHY

The Pine Lake Adventure Park operates using the Challenge-By-Choice model meaning the challenges each participant takes on are by choice.  Participants are periodically asked to evaluate their progress toward their chosen goal.  Instructors and peers offer constructive feedback and support that encourages the growth of each individual within the group.  So whether you're 9 or 69 years old, our adventure-based facility will provide a worthwhile experience helping you and your group learn and grow.


OUR SPONSORS

The Pine Lake Adventure Park was created as a result of the Bristol Community Leadership Team's development effort which involved schools, youth service bureaus, youth recreational organizations, as well as public and private non-profit agencies.  Construction was made possible through funding received from the Connecticut State Department of Education and donations from businesses and private citizens.  The primary purpose for the funding was to provide cooperative inter-district educational programs that would improve students' academic performance and to allow for quality multicultural experiences.
