Mobile Artificial Rock Climbing

A standard size Tennis Court, or even a tiny lawn or a disused portion of the property is good enough to create an elaborate Paintball Arena using inflatable obstacles.

Paintball-based programmes are great to unwind in a large group as well as illustrate important lessons on Strategy-Building, Teamwork, Communication & Leadership

PAINTBALL SHOOTING

THE SHOOT-OUT! A Paintball shootout is a mock-battle between participants using gas-powered guns that shoot small balls of color which burst when they hit a person, thus marking the person 'dead'. This game is not just a mindless thrill-seeking activity, but actually offers the opportunity for teams to get closer, strategize together and work towards a common target, unmindful of hierarchy and norms. And of course have a blast while they're at it.

PAINTBALL SHOOTING

THE MOBILE ARTIFICAL ROCK CLIMBING The Mobile ‘ARC’ - one of Natura’s innovations – is yet another simple, space & cost-effective

way of infusing events with a good dose of adventure. A free-standing structure, the Mobile ‘ARC’offers a daunting 24ft-high rock-climbing experience to at least 4 simultaneous climbers.

And all this while occupying a measly 480 sq ft of ground.

THE MOBILE ARTIFICAL ROCK CLIMBING

The Mobile ‘ARC’ is a design that employs high-grade Rostrum segments to put together a unique structure. The structure is 30feet-high and 24ft-wide with a multi-tiered support of 2 to 3 Rostrum columns.

The Mobile ‘ARC’ offers the following features:

1. Extremely simple and efficient to set up and transport, with the least amount of floor space consumed

2. Variable height, & therefore, variable intensity of Climbing & Rappelling

5. All-weather Capability

6. High Visual Impact

7. Multiple, impossible-to-miss branding areas

The Natura ‘ACT’ is on of the most unique innovations that has changed the face of the Adventure based Entertainment industry. Any convenient space on the property can be converted into an adventure arena with a miniscule investment in building up specially designed spaces that mimic most terrains and features needed for adventure sports.

High Platforms for leap-of-faith, Artificial Rock Walls, Multi-Activity Towers etc. can easily convert a little-used corner of the property into the perfect Outbound Training

Destination or even an Adventure-themed Park.

being that you have to try and grab one of the ropes, hangingfrom the top, to move ahead on the tightrope

WILDER WOOZYParticipants walk on a ropeway across the tower, but in this, the participant has

to walk a tightrope while holding on to another person doing the same!


THE CLIFFHANGER & WALL-SCRAMBLEThe activity lends itself beautifully to both a recreational and an Experiential Learning environment. Apart from givingyou a thrill, the activity can be a great tool to understand goal-setting, inter-dependence and perseverance.


A host of hi-adrenaline activities that can be possible with the appropriate terrain present in or around the resort property.

These thrilling experiences are not only excellent recreational activities, but can also lend themselves well to draw vital insights into personal

behaviour and corporate functioning

HIGH-IMPACT ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES

RAPPELLINGThe most interesting way down a cliff,

rappelling – a hugely exciting adventure sport – involves the

participant to descend a near-vertical rock-face using specialized adventure

equipment, ‘Cliffhanger’-style!

LEAP OF FAITHThe high-point of any program, Leap of Faith involves a person taking a flying leap off a narrow ledge about 40-60 feet above ground. The participant experiences a free fall as the highly specialized adventure safety equipment arrests his/her drop and lands them gently on their feet.


ROCK CLIMBINGThe sport of rock climbing lends itself beautifully to both a recreational and

an Experiential Learning environment. Apart from giving you a thrill, the

activity can be a great tool to understand goal-setting, inter-

dependence and perseverance.



HIGH ROPESA collection of high

impact ropes-course activities

that are strung up at heights more

than 20 feet off the ground.

INITIATIVE EXERCISES

Need the least infrastructure; possible on any flat surfaces, preferably lawns.

Initiative Exercises are essentially unique games that are created keeping experiential learning in mind. These games are extremely effective as they let participants have fun

and break formal barriers during events like conferences and company retreats.

STAMPINGA Team co-ordination & execution focused based exercise, Stamping entails the entire team stamping a set of numbers laid out on the floor in perfect co-ordination. A great tool to understand the pit falls in achieving simple tasks.

“YOU ARE MARKED”An extremely enjoyable yet insightful game, “You are Marked” is all about keeping track of 2 ‘targets’ and constantly re-adjusting your position with respect to both of them. To top it, all forms of communications are barred – adding to the confusion. A fun exercise that teaches an important lesson.

AUSTRALIAN WALKA great game for assumption busting, Australian Walk is a mad game that builds on the things that we take for granted


PIPES ‘N MARBLESThe team has to deliver the ‘product’ (a marble) from manufacture to the customer by passing it through the middle channels (pipes) perfectly. Great insights into group dynamics and personal role.

WAYWARD FLOCKThe team members are blindfolded ‘sheep’ scattered around while the leader tries to herd them to a small pen using only animal noises as signals. This hilarious game brings up great insights on communication and follower-ship.

COBWEBThe entire team has to pass on-by-one through the narrow holes in a cobweb and not all holes are close to the ground!. A great study in physical team-work.


TRAFFIC JAMA tough mental challenge that brings out the more intellectual aspects of leadership and abstract problem-solving to the fore.

BLIND INTENTSimple task: a leader has to direct his team to pitch a tent. The Challenge: all team members are blindfolded and the leader can neither touch them nor can he disclose the objective of the exercise to his team. Let the fun begin!

BLIND SQUAREThe group is blindfolded, given a long rope and asked to make a perfect square out of the rope while being blindfolded. This activity challenges not just their dependence on their senses but brings out many insights into Leadership, Initiative, Active Listening and Exclusion.


LARGE-SCALE SIMULATIONS

These simulations are possible in wooded areas and even lawns available in and around the resort.

From rescuing aircrash victims to crossing a wide chasm by building a rope-way – the following activities thrust the participants into a different world where they take on

challenges and learn from their outcomes. All the while having a lot of fun, mind you.

TYROLEAN TRAVERSEThe challenge to the group is to cross a

valley by building a specialized ropeway called a Tyrolean Traverse. In this

activity, the group has to decipher the instructions given in a diagram

correctly, build the complex ropeway together and finally get every team

member across the valley.



AIR CRASHA hard-hitting simulation, Air Crash builds a scenario wherein there has been an air crash and the teams have been called in for a rescue operations. The Task is to rescue as many casualties in the form of marked bags, strewn around the course area in darkness. The emphasis is on the tight time-frame within which to rescue ‘critically injured’ casualties.

TAG HUNTA night time activity, Tag Hunt involves teams to collect maximum score by locating different coloured tags scattered across different parts of the forest, which carry different scores. A tool to promote strategising, Tag Hunt helps people understand targets vis-à-vis market reality.
