What
is QUEST? Some people view a quest as a journey or expedition, or
the act of seeking something, such as a pot of gold. Others think
of a quest as the pot of gold itself, or some similar reward. Our
vision of QUEST is a team journey in which the "reward"
is in the mutual commitment and camaraderie that develops when a
team has fun, successful experiences together, thereby making the
process more important than the end result.
QUEST
combines a number of activities, such as team building initiatives,
orienteering (map & compass), and ropes course elements, to
allow a group to work together as a team. APEX Adventures facilitators
present the group with the tools and instructions necessary to successfully
move through the progression of activities and strive for a final
goal. Each activity has inherent challenges that require team members
to collaborate on decision making, maximize their resources, and
generate effective solutions.
Larger
groups are separated into smaller working units for maximum involvement
and interaction. The members of each small unit work together as
their own cooperative team that moves through QUEST on a different
pattern or progression than the other teams. In this fashion, QUEST
can be presented as a competitive event, for a unique team building
experience. When competition becomes an element, the activities
have qualitative or quantitative attributes added, such as time,
points, creativity, or presentation. APEX Adventures facilitators
keep score for ranking the top-scoring teams and ceremoniously present
awards.
Whether
your group has one team that is looking for a fun, interactive program
or you are ready for an exciting and motivating event for a larger
group, QUEST promotes continuous communication and cooperation,
the development of mutual trust and support, and commitment to common
goals.
