Our Vision

SURGE Team Building was born from a desire to help individuals and teams grow. We focus on taking the specific needs of your team and customizing our training to meet those outcomes, resulting in an experience that is uniquely yours. Our commitment is to provide each person with an experience that will help them to become more aware and to operate within their teams - and their lives - in a more purposeful way.

Our backgrounds as trainers and program developers blend both the experiential with the corporate, the classroom training with the outdoor component, all resulting in a deliverable that fits your team needs. It has been proven that individuals walk away from trainings with a much greater impact and higher level of awareness when the process is experiential in nature...when they are allowed to observe themselves in the process. Our focus is to be the architect of this experience.
