Team Lewis and Clark resembles a lot of the academic challenges and framework of Team Energy, with the difference being the focus of historical relevance and application. During this program each team will encounter a series of challenges along the way that will include fording a river, portaging, gathering food by bagging game, using a compass, and starting a fire using flint and steel. Each team’s skills will be put to the test through a series of contests where only one team will walk away with a discovered artifact as their reward. They will interact with Native American re–enactors along the way at trading posts and pick up much needed supplies and/or supplies that may or may not be needed to overcome some of the obstacles along the route. The primitive nature of this program adds a variable that will further place participants out of the comfort of their norms and into a challenging atmosphere, while still encouraging them to be leaders.
Team Louis & Clark is a journey of discovery along the entire inspirational leadership path, but focuses primarily on charting unknown territory. Whether this means creating a unified team of two newly merged organizations or integrating new hires into a rich yet unfamiliar corporate culture, the journey of discovery encompasses risk management, team cohesion through challenge, and the process of learning and growth along a path to success.
