Overview

Since Project Adventure began in 1971, thousands of teachers, health care professionals, PE instructors, corporate trainers, recreation specialists and others have attended Project Adventure workshops. These people have come away rejuvenated and eager to take back to their own programs the power and magic of Project Adventure activities.  

QuickSilver includes ten years' worth of new ideas: Icebreakers, Warm-Ups, Games, Stunts, Initiatives, Trust Activities, Closures and more. There's a plethora of programmatic play in these pages, enough to delight even the most avid game collector.  

There is also a section on leadership, where the authors have combined their 43 years of experience to provide you with some insights into leading effective Adventure programs.  

Whether you are an experienced or novice Adventure leader, or just looking for ways to bring people together in a fun, positive and meaningful way, QuickSilver will surely become one of your most valued resources.
