SOAR is the number one choice for adventure team building in Tampa Bay!  With SOAR, you will elevate your team, fortify relationships and raise the bar for positive energy and encouragement!  What team wouldn’t want this?

The SOAR package combines our full Zip Line Adventure overlooking Tampa Bay.  Our signature adventure is a guided trek on over 3,000′ of zip lines, numerous aerial obstacles, the epic 200′ suspension bridge, and an exhilarating auto rappel to finish.

On the ground, either before or after the Zip Line Adventure, the Empower Leadership team will facilitate our EMERGE ground-based team building experience.  These customized activities (large puzzle-like mind-benders, collaborative exercises and problem-solving experiences) are designed to challenge your group to overcome failure and adversity and ultimately embrace a fearless pursuit of success.  It is in this process of “engaging, failing, learning, succeeding” that our leadership experts will encourage  your team to resist the urge to be negative when adversity strikes, prompt your participants to create momentum with subtle acts of leadership and encourage the group to truly collaborate to find the best solution.  We are guessing you won’t need much coaching when it comes to celebrating your success – and you will succeed if you commit to the Empower process.

SOAR requires approximately 4 hours.

Pricing from $109/person.

*Note – if you are a non-profit, municipality, school or church group please ask us about our special programs and discounts!

For groups with limited time, we’ve created the SOAR with Zip Line Power Pack.  This adventure team building option is similar to our SOAR but with a shortened zip line and EMERGE experience.  Rather than being a full 4 hours, we’ve condensed the experience down to about 3-3.5 hours.

When adventuring with our Power Pack options, you can choose between our Woods Power Pack and our Water Power Pack. The Woods Power Pack features three (3) zip lines through the canopy and our four (4) aerial obstacles. The Water Power Pack features our two (2) longest zip lines and 200′ suspension bridge over the waters of Mobbly Bayou. Both Zip Line Power Packs conclude with the auto rappel off of our 30′ platform to the ground.

SOAR with Power Pack requires approximately 3-3.5 hours.

Pricing from $69/person (Water Power Pack) to $85/person (Woods Power Pack.)

EMERGE is a series of ground-based, teaming up activities delivered by an Empower facilitator to achieve specific outcomes. We use concepts derived from Stephen Covey’s Emotional Bank Account, Bruce Tuckman’s Stages of Team Development, Simon Sinek’s culture building theories and more.

Why EMERGE?

By pairing these team building models with own unique adventure activities, our facilitators are able to appropriately challenge groups to engage with each other in these activities.  It is in these activities that groups will travel through the team building spectrum of experiencing failure, learning from that failure and then applying the lessons learned to find success.  It is this process that will bring your team together, help to improve your culture (what is normal!) and potentially change the way you do business back in the office.

Our hope is that the lessons learned and energy derived from WINNING at Empower will give your team the confidence to try new and different techniques for communicating and action planning.  Additionally, this experience will provide opportunities to be vulnerable with each other creating deeper and more meaningful connections which will result in a synergy that can bring your team to a place of achievement, success and positive momentum.

EMERGE is a customizable offering that is normally combined with a high adventure such as the Zip Line Adventure, Power Pack or Leap of Faith.

Time required varies by package.

Is your group competitive?  Do they like to talk smack?  Well here is your chance to get them outside of their comfort zone and see how much smack they talk when they are 60 feet off the ground!

Empower’s Go for Gold event is a customized competition that will have your team competing head to head or against past Empower competitors in events like “Zip and Sprint,” “Leap of Faith Challenge,” “The Beast” and more.  These events are a combination of low/high ropes challenges, zip lines, ground-based initiatives and more.

We know that team building is meant to be inclusive but that some events may not be for everyone – and every group is different in that way.  This is why we customize our Go for Gold competitions by using appropriate activities for your group so that every member of your team will contribute to a winning effort.

We also know that not every group has the same amount of time for their event so we can customize your competition to be as few as 3 events and as long as… well, we can go all night – we do zip line in the dark you know!

Time required varies by the number of challenges you choose.

Pricing varies by length and number of participants.

Using the Zip Line Adventure as a team building tool is what Empower set out to do 10 years ago and it continues to be a fan favorite!  For more info about the activity itself and some of the finer details please navigate over to our main Zip Line Adventure page by clicking the button at the bottom of this page.

But before you go, I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t explain more about why this is such a great team building activity:

Choosing this guided 2-2.5 hour excursion overlooking Tampa Bay is always a popular choice among group participants!  However there is always a range of eagerness in groups.  Some are gung-ho and ready to go, others are apprehensive and timid.  The Zip Line Adventure is meant to be an empowering experience that brings everyone together to overcome a common challenge.  Using the encouragement and support of each member of the group, everyone transforms together; meaning everyone experiences the benefit of facing challenges, overcoming fears, mustering up their courage and in the end feeling the satisfaction of succeeding and winning together.  Make no mistake, the Zip Line Adventure is FUN, but it also so much more.  We assure you that by overcoming the adversity of this challenge and fear of heights as a group, this experience will take your team to higher levels of trust and belief in one another!

If you are wishing to dig a bit deeper, see yourself excel as you step outside of your comfort zone to conquer the Leap of Faith.  This challenge will take you to the top of the obstacle – over 25′ – through a solo climb and the final leap, with your eye on the ball, and auto rappel free fall.

The Leap of Faith challenge is an extension of our aerial obstacle course and can be added to any adventure, or as a standalone mini-adventure.
