About Us

Achieve More Than Ever Before!

Our team building and leadership programs enable organizations to achieve more than ever before.

Team Quest provides your group with an opportunity to be challenged physically, mentally, and socially. Our programs give participants the freedom to move from a comfort zone into a challenge zone, conquering their fears through team support and individual determination.

We provide programs year-round at our camps or your location. Whether you’re a corporate team looking for a fresh outlook for the next year or you’re a school group looking to build new connections, we have programs to meet your needs.

Strategy: Through "Challenge by Choice" - the concept that empowers participants to choose their level of engagement in an activity – individuals are encouraged to step out of their comfort zone.
Objective: To create an environment that cultivates open and honest communication.
Approach: Utilizing both high ropes and ground based challenges, we enhance a participant’s ability to be open, resourceful, and resilient.
Results: We strive to provide a framework for team growth.

What Are People Saying About Team Quest?

The activities always meet our expectations and the leaders are always prepared for our population of students. The team-building activities help students be insightful. Students connect the activities with what is going on in their personal lives and develop some strategies on how to problem-solve effectively. Everyone left Team Quest feeling like they accomplished something.Jessika, SPED Teacher at Compass Programs

This is our 5th year coming to a Team Quest and every year is as great as the year before! We left a different group than when we arrived. We left more cohesive and aware of our individual and collective gifts as well as a respect for one another's strengths and places where our team members may need some support! It was great and we couldn't have gotten more out of it! Our facilitators deserve special praise! The leaders are always well-experienced and trained at leading the tasks at hand. It feels respectful, challenging and building. They are positive but know how to push the group to grow and take on new things. Don't know what I'd do without your partnership! I can't say enough positive stuff about you! Thanks!Katie C.

The event surpassed my expectations. We all enjoyed ourselves, the activities were spot-on for building trust and developing a stronger team of students. I was also impressed with the staff and their involvement with our group. It was a definite success and I learned quite a bit about some of our students by watching them interact with one another. Thanks again for providing Normandale students a great experience.Greg L.

The program was absolutely fantastic! It more than met my expectations! Comments from our staff: The best MS field trip I have ever been on. Saw kids engaged that are rarely engaged. Saw kids talking to other kids that they have never talked to before From our students: It was great. Can we go again? It was super fun. It was really cool. I liked the climbing net (from a student that was scared on it). It was a great day! Thank you for making it fun, challenging and a learning experience for all the students! I know we will be coming again!JoAnn, Developmental Adapted Physical Education Teacher
