Activities On Offer

Here at Berg Venture we have designed our activities to stimulate minds, build friendships, bring great memories and much laughs. It's important to us that you have fun!

We also plan the programme to give an ideal mix between structured and un-structured activities.

The result: Kids are busy with constructive experiences without the boredom. Find below some of the activities we use to cater a special programme to your needs.

We plan our programmes on the following sequence of progression:

  1. Name games: Group members get to know one another and feel comfortable, this enables the breaking down of barriers.
  2. Ice Breakers: Increase comfort levels through fun and laughter. Establish ways to relate better to each other. Being physically active.
  3. Awareness activities: Begin reflection upon varying perspectives. Begin to think of themselves as a group. Proximity and touching issues addressed.
  4. Trust activities: Establish a foundation of trust within the group. More intense debriefing promotes deeper reflection.
  5. Initiatives: Problem solving. Challenges increase. 110% personal commitment necessary for success.
  6. Higher Challenges: Culminating experiences for individuals and groups, often height and climbing challenges
