HOW ABOUT TEAMBUILDING ON A CRUISE SHIP?

Participants competing in a friendly team-building competition

FOCUS Adventure and Genting Dream partnered together to offer Teambuilding on Dream Cruises

In March 2019, we were invited to Genting Dream’s MICE event held on board their cruise ship. The guests were treated to a preview of their latest production show, SONIO, before FOCUS Adventure came on stage to introduce ourselves and the services we offer. Our team was then stationed at the Palm Court with a stunning 180° view of the sea for the breakout session, engaging the guests in our very own Mobile Adventure Programme, Masterpiece, which is one of the many teambuilding activities that we are able to conduct on board the ship.

Contact us now to find out more about the Dream Cruises Teambuilding programme offerings.

We are more than thankful for the guests’ enthusiasm during the session, and are also honoured to be given the chance by Genting Dream to share the work we do at FOCUS Adventure. We hope the guests had a better insight on how we can further collaborate to enhance their services to their clients on board a cruise ship, and look forward to a closer partnership with Genting Dream in the future.

SUCCESS LAUNCH OF THE DRONE CHALLENGE!

Colleagues bonding through interactive problem-solving activities

Instead of a single controller for each drone, responsibility for the controls were shared between at least 3 members, each member being responsible for a single plane of movement. (For example, Participant A is in charge of moving the drone up and down, Participant B for moving forward and backwards)

We are proud to have successfully conducted The Drone Challenge! programmes in March 2019! In their teams, participants had to design and build their own 3D race track, while the controllers familiarized themselves with the drone controllers. However in FOCUS Adventure, every moment is a challenge!

In an ultimate test of teamwork and coordination, teams had to navigate their drones through their race track in the shortest possible time!

Corporate workshop focusing on team efficiency and collaboration
Both sessions helped fire up the teams’ competitive spirits, while forcing them to come together as a group to plan and coordinate their movement! Overall, the program was a great success and everyone went home feeling a little richer!

Fun and engaging teamwork challenge for corporate professionals
On 25th January 2019, FOCUS Adventure together with our sister company, Camp Challenge, had the pleasure of hosting 23 students under our partner beneficiary, FaithActs to a fun-filled afternoon of creativity and laughter.As part of their monthly birthday celebrations programme, the children and youths took part in The Mascot Challenge! which was designed to increase interactions and communications among them as they sorted through various everyday items to create the most innovative and magnificent outfits for one another!

 

Besides making them think out of the box and exercise their imagination, there was also a quiet message on the importance of sustainability, in the way they had to convert common everyday items into a new impactful mascot. They were also given the opportunity to share more about their very own creations, providing them with a platform for public speaking and self-confidence. Through this session, they learnt the importance of creativity, teamwork and sharing whilst playing and having fun. The day ended on a high note with a birthday song and cake cutting ceremony for all the January babies!

Teams were put through endless challenges and negotiations as they worked together to create their unique hampers from scratch. By the end of the programme, everyone proudly presented their masterpieces; sharing their various thought processes and ideas behind each work of art. Of course not forgetting the key intent behind the programme, we thank all our participants for their enthusiasm and creativity on behalf on Sheng Hong Family Service Centre.

SHAPING YOUTHS AND CHILDREN’S ATTITUDES THROUGH ADVENTURE LEARNING

The CSR team was tasked for the fourth year running to create an impactful programme for the youth and children in Help Family Service Centre. The activities aimed to foster teambuilding, collaboration and the value of empathy by thinking in each other’s shoes. It was a fun filled day with the participants ascending our 24-metre tower, TEAM CHALLENGE HOURGLASS, a sharing session through LEGO building, and ending off with a mass dance with the staff and volunteers! It was heartening to hear from the staff that the youths have matured and grew from the previous run, and expressed their gratitude to our team for guiding them throughout these 4 years.

Besides having fun during the construction of the robots, at the end of the programme, those robots were donated to a beneficiary of their choice.

CSR – THE UPCYCLING CHALLENGE

In the month of June, FOCUS Adventure conducted our very own upcycling challenge by using recycled water bottles to construct a boat! The objective was to work together based on the limited amount of time and resources to build a boat that floats on water! Upon completing the construction of the boat, the team headed out to the Sentosa beach to test it out. We hope that we can give the water bottles another function by reusing it in this programme. Sign up your organisation or team and contact us at CSR@focusadventure.com for more info!

THE RACE KART CHALLENGE!

THE RACE KART CHALLENGE!

The Race Kart Challenge! programme brings about our deepest desire for speed in a F1-like race. The Race Kart Challenge! encourages participants to work within their teams to build a race kart according to the specifications provided. Teams will unleash their creativity to design and construct customised race kart from scratch with the given materials.

During construction, teams can earn additional materials through team challenges to enhance their desired race kart.

At the end of the construction, the teams will give a presentation on their karts before heading down to the race track to put their race karts to the test. There will be a twist during the race to ensure teams communicate effectively and understand that it isn’t about going fast, but about going far. The only way to do so is when the team moves TOGETHER!
