Blindfold Tasks
Team task challenges that have to be performed blindfolded. Without the use of a sense so many of us take for granted, simple tasks such as pitching a tent or creating a perfect square shape from a length of rope take on new difficulty. Team member need to learn to rely on their team mate and work together as a team to complete tasks that would normally be elementary. If required we can introduce more unusual tasks, such at herding sheep into a pen.
