Learn by Experience

It is a proven fact that we learn best by doing rather than listening or reading. More and more corporations are realizing this and look for new and exciting programs to build employee trust and confidence. The question is where does an organization go to experience both a dynamic adventure and a learning exercise that focuses on employee teambuilding and cohesion? Look no further.

Enter the Estates of Sunnybrook with a new on site facility from Summit Training and Development, where the training involves not only a learning aspect but also a dynamic experiential one.

"Summit allows the Estates to be a unique meeting venue in Toronto by combining the exclusivity of our indoor facilities with the comfort and safety of this outdoor learning environment," says Bernadette Gregoris, the Estates corporate sales manager.

Summit takes experiential learning to a whole new level by encouraging employees to work together, both mentally and physically, through a custom-designed adventure ropes and skills program. Summit creates a learning laboratory designed to allow participants to become more familiar with themselves, their teammates, and their skills and resources.

Located at the Estates, Summit offers a variety of categories to suit any company needs - focused on everything from teambuilding exercises to the popular rope course. Programs fall into the following categories:

• Half-Day Motivational Teambuilding
• Full-Day Team Development Program
• New Team Formation

Each training program is custom designed to match team abilities and interests with a follow-up to ensure learning transfers back to the work environment.

According to Scott Kress, president of Summit, "Our sessions use the most powerful learning tool in the world, experience, and focus on the company's most important resource - people. A Summit teambuilding program is an effective way of improving productivity and corporate strength."
