Participant materials

Leadership deck, challenge kit, strategy templates and team charter.

Venue requirements

Professional nature venue with meeting room, catering and safe outdoor access.

Safety and safeguarding

Corporate risk assessment, activity waivers, qualified providers and emergency planning.
