Team Building and Leadership Training at Sunshine Village.

Now you can benefit from results-oriented team building and leadership training programs designed to take advantage of our unique location.
Sunshine Village is pleased to be working with experienca, a world class team and leadership development organization based in Calgary, to offer these programs.

Sunshine Team Quest
1-2 hours.
Designed specifically for groups that want a fun and engaging experience at a budget price. This is a fun romp around the Village Base area peppered with thinking and creative challenges that get your people working together, solving problems and enjoying laughs and accomplishments. In teams of 5-7 people, you discover the hidden secrets of the resort while solving navigation puzzles, interacting with the "locals", and completing fun and challenging team exercises. Some of the challenges include:

• Map Cross: A devious navigation challenge.
• Photo Search: Can you find the location where the photo was taken?
• Perspective: It's a coded message, but you need to have the right point of view.
• And Many More.

Your team receives a "Quest Kit" that has all the clues, directional tools and instructions that you'll need.
The directions and riddles in the Quest Kit as well as the clues you find along the way will bring you to some interesting and unusual locations in the area.
In the end, teams gather at the meeting location and hand in their quest kits for scoring.

Murder in the Mountains...
3-4 hours
A suspicious avalanche leads to murder and intrigue.
As your group gathers, we announce that the activity will be to train for and participate in an avalanche rescue scenario. In teams of 5-7 people, we train you in basic avalanche rescue techniques and the use of GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers.
Suddenly, a breathless "skier" bursts into the room and announces that there has been an avalanche and he's afraid that people have been buried. Everybody needs to get out and help search for buried people.
Excitement mounts as teams gear up to go to the avalanche site.
Your team will use avalanche transceivers and probe poles to find a victim. As each team finds a victim, you begin to notice some suspicious items. Hand-scrawled notes, white powder, GPS receivers. The notes strongly indicate foul play.
GPS coordinates and a trail of clues lead you back to the lodge where you must assemble your clues and complete your analysis. Creativity counts! This is a hilarious way to end the day on a high note.

Sunshine CSI
Time: 3-4 hours.

Participants discover crime scenes, gather clues and analyze evidence with their crime scene investigation kit to identify and arrest the perpetrator.
This program occurs in the buildings and grounds of the Sunshine Village base area.
The investigation is in your hands. You will find forensic evidence throughout the area. Shredded documents, washed cheques, lock boxes, blood, footprints, fingerprints, DNA, and more. You will be equipped with tools of the trade to gather your evidence. Hemostats, evidence bags, "blood kit", "chemistry", "luminal", UV Scanners and more.
Along the way, you will also encounter obstacles and challenges that will test your teamwork and creativity.
At the end, you will be able to do some of your own lab work and also turn in some of your evidence to get more detailed results from the "lab".
The final challenge is to use your lab results and everything you know about the crime scenes to determine means, motive and opportunity and generate a case for an arrest warrant to be issued. Because the judge who issues warrants is a bit quirky, teams must present their case in the most creative, convincing manner possible. The team that correctly identifies the suspect and creates the most convincing case for a warrant will be awarded first prize!
