Join us for a fun and laughter-filled course where you will discover how play transforms your experience to be more connected, productive, and engaged. The interactive program uses purposeful play, experiential group exercises and gentle improvisation techniques as tools for innovation, personal growth, team building, and leadership development.

The experience is designed to delightfully immerse participants in collaborative and mindful activities in a playful and safe environment that fosters teamwork and boosts self-confidence. Through the proven techniques provided, participants will learn to think quickly on their feet, get out of their own way, and work better as individuals and professionals. Further, the activities are crafted to improve communication, help participants respond more skillfully in challenging situations, and examine habits and default responses and develop new ways to approach a situation.

The program focuses on the brain science aspects of improvisation and play and provides life-changing tools so individuals can take home a better understanding of themselves and their team. What this means for Campus of Life is that while participants are laughing and playing they are also gaining practical and tangible skills that translate to their personal and work lives and produce sustainable results.
