Don’t just go and take a photo to impress your friends on Wechat.

We want you to come back from our trips with more than just pretty pictures.

ATrails wants our participants to be changed on the inside with broader minds, that are educated and enlightened.

We don’t settle for riding a bus in a group tour and stopping at the touristy, 

commercialize sites.

Our tours and treks are culturally immersive and full of wonder and life and even delightful spontaneous moments that can’t be squarely placed in a brochure.

By immersing yourself in culture you begin to admire it in a new way that you can not as a mere spectator.

You learn about yourself. You learn about others.

GROUP CHALLENGES

This is the core of our team building curriculum. Co-workers work through a series of problem-solving tasks designed to develop teamwork, decision-making, and creative problem-solving. The challenge may be a physical one, like working together to set up a tent, persevering to hike a mountain, or getting their whole group through a rope “spider web” without touching the web. The challenges also have a mental challenge, like figuring out how to move a bucket filled with tennis balls with limited tools and numerous restrictions. The lessons promote individual self-esteem and leadership skills through supportive, positive encouragement.

Each activity is followed by a “debriefing,” in which the group discusses such topics such as communication, trust, leadership, peer pressure, unity, responsibility, and accountability.

Team building exercises offer students a new awareness of their own personal capabilities, allowing them to grow beyond their accepted role in the group and encouraging self confidence and a genuine concern for the well being of others. 

When considering a team building event,you should know and be prepared to discuss the outcomes that you most value andthe take-aways you desire your team to enjoy following the event. Thereare virtually hundreds of team challenges and activities available that provide outcomes ranging from trust building, to improving accountability practices, to defining roles, to boosting group morale

A successful retreat may well grant you the following, and with these targets in mind it should be organized:

 – Develops ability to find opportunities in change and overcome challenges

 – Accelerates process of team roles and forming of a shared vision

 – Develops creative problem solving along with time and crisis management skills

 – Improves decision making and individual leadership skills

 – Ignites an increase in efficiency and emphasis on sharing resources

 – Reduces turnover of high-performing talent by forging interpersonal trust
