What We Do

Our ultimate goal in working with groups is to help participants grow, discovering the dynamics, relationships and even frustrations that result when people are brought together.

Through an experiential approach to learning and an emphasis on co-operation, we encourage our participants in activities that help them to realize and build skills necessary for success in life. Some of these skills include: communication, teamwork, healthy risk-taking, postitive self-esteem, leadership, problem solving and transferense. One of the greatest benefits participants can receive from their experience here is a better understanding and awareness of self and each other as valuable members of a group. To accomplish this result, individuals are given the chance to examine their own (as well as the group's) strengths, weaknesses, tendencies, values, expectations, anxieties, etc. Opportunities for growth arrise from teambuilding and trust activities, the many low and high elements that make up our challenge course, and even the natural surroundings the farm and forests offer.

Genesee Valley offers our clients a number of innovative and unique programs. In addition to day group programming on the property, we also offer off-site programming, summer camp, an environmental and agricultural program, birthday parties and off-site expeditions (rock climbing, canoeing, etc). Though each program is different, many of the same philosophies and ideas carry throughout: learn and grow through experience, trust and self-discovery.
