Telling stories… creative and fun activities

Many of our exercises and group activities work because our participants truly get engaged with their tasks. And many of the exercises involve being able to tell stories to group members – and we usually emphasize the ability to tell it well in order to get the message to stick!

What does it look like they are talking about below?

Learning Life Skills Early

There is no better time than now to learn essential skills!

Students get that training at the Camp! In a fun and creative way too!

Hands On!

Learning the concept is much more effective because our students participate!

Working on group exercises drive the point much faster (and people do retain more after) and makes for a more enjoyable time together.

Mechanical Engineers have all the fun?

Now you see?

It’s hard to figure out where you want to go if you can’t see (obviously). How about when it seems like something (or someone) put the blinds on you?

2 to tango…

Sometimes it doesn’t seem so obvious until you pause to ask ‘what am I really trying to do?”

We encourage learning through sharing.

Our community, called the CampFire, is our exclusive online forum where our participants can engage others in discussion what they have learned, what they can share (like tips and other help) and perhaps, even ask for help from their peers or any of our coaches.

The CampFire is for free for members only.

Our programs are also designed to foster team participation. Exercises and examples are not just fun but also simulate real world interactions with team members.

Fun makes the learning stick

experience

You will find that learning at The Can Do Camp is a unique experience. Our programs are designed around what we call our 5 Cs.

our engaging, energetic class workshops (just ask any of our students)
our community of learners
our collaboration platform
our fun camp outs
and of course, our passionate coaches who bring world class experience to share.

We don’t do lectures.
We know that active learning is the best way to retain knowledge. By working with others on stimulating real world exercises, you get to assimilate simple yet powerful principles and learn immediately useful tricks and tips. You walk away with at least one extremely valuable tool you can use the rest of your life. Guaranteed!

We definitely do fun!
Enjoying how we learn amplifies how much we can take from the experience. In our workshops, our students also get to play – helps the lesson stick, builds the community and definitely kills boredom!

We encourage sharing and collaboration.
Our students can choose to get together in our community of learners, the CampFire, where they can extend their experience beyond the live workshops and continue to engage their coaches and peers.

In addition, if they choose to, we provide our members with free collaboration space, Collaborate@TheCamp, where they can continue to work on their projects.

In either case, our members move beyond classroom learning to active continuing development with their peers and coaches.

We like to celebrate too!
Our CampOuts are for those special events where we can put learning and fun in an entirely different perspective.
