Challenge Your Group

When a kids nervous about a challenge and their friend talks them through it, and the group cheers them on, that’s real connection happening.

Get Them Pumped

This is the kind of youth retreat kids actually get excited about. That excitement translates into energy, engagement, and memories they’ll talk about for months. Our Zip line adventure is truly an unforgettable experience. 

Build lasting bonds

When kids work together to conquer something real, they stop being a collection of individuals and become and actual team. That’s when real bonds stick.

Develop Real Trust

Shared challenges naturally break down social cliques. When students step out of their comfort zones and actively encourage one another, they build a foundation of genuine trust that outlasts the adventure.

It works for everyone

Youth groups are a mix of bold thrill-seekers and cautious introverts. Our experiences are designed so every single student can participate, grow, and feel a massive sense of accomplishment, regardless of their athletic ability.

Questions we get from Group Leaders

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about youth group team-building with Empower Adventures.

Yes. Every adventure is led by expert guides trained to rigorous standards. Full safety briefing before any activity, proper equipment, and low-to-no risk options for all fitness levels.

Pricing scales with group size and program type. We’ll give you a custom quote that works for your group and your budget.

We work with youth from elementary age through high school. Programs are adapted to the age group, and experience level. Every year youth camps of all ages visit us from all over the region. 

Yes. We’ve taken people with disabilities, including a paraplegic, through our course. We’ve worked with teams where some members had knee injuries, back problems, or significant weight concerns. We always find a way. During planning, we’ll ask about any accommodations needed and design the experience accordingly. The goal is meaningful participation for everyone, not identical participation.

We recommend 1–3 weeks for smaller groups, 4–6 weeks for groups over 50. Popular dates (spring and winter) go fast reach out early.

We operate in light rain (which actually makes it more adventurous!), but we pause for lightning. Florida afternoon thunderstorms are typically brief. We’ll wait them out. If weather makes the course unsafe, we’ll work with you to reschedule. We understand you’re coordinating multiple schedules, so we’re flexible and reasonable about weather-related changes. While we don’t have an indoor facility we do activities that can be done outdoors in almost any weather condition.

Absolutely. Most group leaders and chaperones participate alongside students. It’s often the best part of the day.

This is our specialty. Our “Challenge by Choice” approach means no one is forced to do anything uncomfortable. We’ve successfully accommodated team members with disabilities, fears, and varying fitness levels. Some participate fully on the course. Others take on ground-based support roles that are equally valuable to team success. We design the experience so everyone contributes meaningfully. Most participants end up surprising themselves once they’re here. Your team will support each other through the challenges and that’s where the magic happens.

Yes! If bringing your entire team to Oldsmar creates logistical challenges, or if you’re concerned about liability of off-site activities, we offer mobile team building programs. We bring elements of the Empower Adventures experience directly to your campus, park, or event venue. It’s not identical to our full course, but it delivers similar team-building benefits with added convenience. Ask us about mobile options when you request your quote.

STRESS-FREE YOUTH PROGRAMS

From Start to Finish

We know you’re busy and the last thing you need is a complicated planning process with a million decisions to make. Here’s how we make this simple:

Tell us your goals, your team size, your preferred dates, and your budget. Our dedicated youth group coordinator takes it from there. We’ll create a custom proposal with 2-3 options, handle all logistics, and stay in touch leading up to your event.

 

We know coordinating schedules is the hardest part. That’s why we offer weekday and weekend options, morning, afternoon, and evening start times, and we book well in advance so you have time to get everyone aligned. We’ve worked with teams of 10 and teams of 100 we make it work.

 

Whether you’re a school or a youth organization, we create packages that fit your budget. Group pricing scales favorably as your headcount increases, and we’ll show you exactly what’s included so there are no surprises.

Prior to your visit, we confirm final details so there are no surprises. On event day, we handle everything safety, facilitation, pacing, photos. Your only job is showing up and participate alongside your group.

You’re excited about giving your team this experience, but you’re also a little nervous about pulling it off. We get it. That’s why we’ve designed our process to take the stress off your shoulders. Let’s talk about your team—we’ll make this easy.
