Example Trip Itinerary

Pre- Adventure In-depth team assessment: a quantitative survey and 1:1 interviews with team members and outside stakeholders, plus a full report we use to build the tailored experience.

Day 1 Meet your guides at the hotel for coffee and intros, then drive out to Joshua Tree National Park. Spend the day climbing or hiking, with reflection and group discussion built around the specific themes your team assessment surfaced. Gourmet picnic lunch under the rocks. Late afternoon, head to AutoCamp Joshua Tree and cook dinner together as a group. Sleep in boutique Airstreams with real beds and private bathrooms.

Day 2 Gourmet breakfast at camp, then back into the park for either more climbing and exploration or a map-and-compass navigation challenge. The day is built around facilitated discussion, reflection, and relationship building. Return to AutoCamp for dinner and one more night around the campfire.

Day 3 Coffee, breakfast, final reflection. Each person shares a commitment. Head back to Palm Springs by 10am for afternoon flights, or stay in town if your flight's later.

Post-adventure The team gets a full next steps report. Each person gets a commitment check-in and a 1:1 implementation coaching session. We reassess the team in four months to confirm the time outside moved the needle.
