UBC Science One Program

Summary of Your Needs & Logistics:

Contact: Lucia Balabuk

Date(s): Monday September 25th - Tuesday September 26th, 2023

Location: Both days at Loon Lake Lodge in Maple Ridge

Length of Time: 2 Half Days - Day 1: Between Lunch & Dinner (1/1:30pm - 4:30/5:00pm) | Day 2: Between Breakfast & Lunch (9:00am-12:00pm) or after Lunch (1:00-4:00pm)

Invitation, Context & Objectives: UBC Science One Program has invited Pinnacle Pursuits to help host them during their stay Loon Lake for their first year university students. They have roughly 80 people staying at Loon Lake for this one night retreat. Overall the main focus is to connect, be outdoors, rest and relax with intentions to have activities that inspire team spirit.

Proposed Program Format: 

Based on your objectives, the number of people attending, and overall timing over the 2 days, Pinnacle Pursuits is proposing to have the students split into 2 groups of 40 people over the 2 days for programming based on our needs for group sizes and overall facilitation requirements. The idea would be to have 2 different team-building experiences going on at the same time on Day 1 in different locations at Loon Lake, and then on Day 2 they switch for an equal experience overall.

Proposed Programs/ Activities:

Based on dividing the students into 2 groups over each day, we have created a proposed agenda with 3 different options for you to review. Based on having 2 different sessions each day, you can choose 2 out of the 3 options listed below. These options will bring out the best in people, have students connecting with each other, working together collaboratively, and overall create an environment for playful fun, laughter, and lasting memories.

These include:

Option 1 -   ‘Team Spirit Challenge’ (2.5-3.5hr of competitive survivor-like team building games in different teams) & possibility add-on of ‘Serious Play’, (1 hr of playful, interactive games and activities that are carefully facilitated) *Requires 3-4 Pinnacle Staff

Option 2 - ‘Amazing Adventure Race’ (2.5-3hr) or ‘Orienteering Course Challenge’ (2.5-3 hr) - Both great opportunities to explore Loon Lake in a face-paced adventure, have teams working together in small teams, and tackle unique and fun challenges along the way. *Requires 3-5 Pinnacle Staff 

Option 3 - ‘Adventure Play’ - (3 hrs of our various outdoor adventure activities in groups at Loon Lake: options could include: High or Low Ropes Course, Rock Climbing, Raft Building & more!) *Requires 4-5 Pinnacle Staff

Note: For your activity descriptions, please see "Recommended Program Activities for UBC Science One Program" below with a downloadable PDF. 

Investment & Costs:

For a program of this nature, for a group of your size and requirements, for two half days, the cost range is between $7,000.00-8,500 for up to 80 people. This cost range is based on our activity options, and number of staff required (7-10) to facilitate over the 2 days. This includes full program planning/management, a full staff/facilitator team with meals & accommodation included, return travel/mileage, program handouts, all program equipment/supplies, and five million comprehensive liability.

OUR MISSION: CONNECT. INSPIRE. ENGAGE. GROW.

As creators of meaningful outdoor learning experiences, action-learning adventures and high impact team-building events, we deliver customized pinnacle experiences that provide opportunities for people to build meaningful connections, challenge themselves, expand their perspectives, become inspired, be fully engaged, and grow.

We are all about people helping people! 

OUR WHY:

 

WE BELIEVE...that in a world that is constantly changing in complexity, continues to grow in demands and expectations, and where ‘disconnect’ is becoming more prevalent, the same thread of humanness continues to run through each of us: the need and drive to be curious, learn, connect with others, understand and be understood, feel valued among peers, trust one another, take risks, challenge ourselves, live and work with purpose, and achieve. These qualitative experiences may be difficult to measure, but that does not undermine their importance; they have an enormous impact on personal growth, confidence, happiness, and overall performance and success in all areas of life. We believe that these are the most important qualities and values for both individuals and teams, and also for humanity as a whole. 

At Pinnacle Pursuits, we dedicate our work and focus to the design and delivery of such experiences.

The Pinnacle Pursuits Team is Here to Answer All Your Questions!
