Outdoor Adventure Kansas is a series of experiential learning activities that promote team effectiveness and personal growth. The activities are challenging tasks that require communication, interaction, and participation.

Groups typically begin the day with ice breaker activities, games and initiatives that allow the participants to get acquainted and comfortable with each other. Participants then spend a full or half day on the low course or the high course elements, where they explore topics that may include:     

• Creative problem solving

• Team cohesion

• Effective communication

• Community building & connection 

Active learning takes place because participants are encouraged to review the process that contributed to the team’s success. Thought provoking discussions help the participants apply the lessons learned directly to the next activity. In addition, reflection on the days experience can assist the group in making the connection from OAK course to everyday life situations.
