Positive Adventures

Everyone at Positive Adventures was more than a pleasure to work with! Extremely polite, fun and professional. They went above and beyond to make sure that our group had an awesome time during our scavenger hunt! I can’t wait to use them again in the future. Extra special thanks to Meg, Halsey and Sasha!

Positive Adventures was great! They brought with them an interesting team building experience, which was a lot of fun as well… It is a good and often underrated endeavor, to get a company’s employees to work together in a fun exercise, building new found camaraderie and good will among the staff. These types of activities should be done often, as most employees actually spend more of their waking hours at work, than with their families, and it’s nice to have a company like Positive Adventures, that specializes in bringing a change of pace to companies like ours. Nice job!

Jared was great. My company hired him and Positive Adventures for some team building activities right in our office.
It was great to see the entire office engaged in a fun but competitive mini project and witnessing all of our strengths, long with a few (mini) areas of opportunity.
Thanks Jared! :)

Jered was awesome! His team building presentation was very information and fun. He had our entire staff engaged and working together. He was a pleasure to work with.

Jared came to our office and facilitated an activity meant to demonstrate team building skills. As a visual learner with ADD, this proved an effective way to teach and reinforce the concepts he discussed, which I can almost never say. It was memorable and fun, thanks!

Jared was very helpful and made our company quarterly meeting very fun! Our marshmallow structure is still standing! :D

We had a company meeting recently. Jared came in to lead the way on some exercises, which seemed odd at first but showed us the bigger picture at the end.
I thought I was getting to play with marshmallows and uncooked spaghetti noodles for pure fun and enjoyment. We were instructed to build a tower, using the uncooked spaghetti and some tape. The marshmallow had to be at the top. The tallest tower would be declared the winner. It was fun communicating within our group, trying and failing and trying again to outdo our competition. Ultimately, our tower fell over and lost in a sad and anticlimactic fashion. However, the lesson that this exercise revealed was fantastic and really landed the overall message of the company meeting.
Jared was calm, collected and led the meeting with confidence, which isn’t an easy task considering how rambunctious we can be. I can’t wait until our next meeting, as I’m eager to see what other team building endeavors we will go through.
Fun stuff. Thanks Jared and thanks Positive Adventures!

Our company worked with Positive Adventures for our all-​company workshop in San Diego. We were in need of some team building activities and Positive Adventures provided their services.
Upon receiving feedback, everyone really enjoyed all the team building games. We were told San Diego always had great weather but on that morning it was sprinkling. But the enthusiasm from the staff really made it easier for us to go out there and just have fun and work together.
I really want to thank Meg for all her support from the very beginning to the very end. I really appreciate how easy it was to work with her to arrange this event.
I recommend Positive Adventures and if we ever have another workshop in San Diego, I will be calling them!

I must say I had never before been camping with a chef, a staffer, an astronomer, and an organizational development expert, and this experience rocked! We just brought a pillow, toiletries, a headlamp for nighttime, and a change of clothing. Everything else was provided for us: tents, sleeping bag pads, sleeping bags, food, water and beverages, camp chairs, towels, a massive telescope, firewood, hats, and more. Our trip was our organization’s first annual family retreat, and based on our location, preferences, and budget, Positive Adventures chose us a beach camping venue. We camped safely on the cliff above the waves, and walked down to the glorious rocky shore. We got back to find fresh cut fruit and hummus and rice crackers awaiting us. We dined on skirt steak (salmon by request); green salad with strawberries, goat cheese, and candied walnuts; grilled veggies; and of course, made our own s’mores from the s’mores bar. The astronomer showed us solar flares in the daytime, and moon craters, Jupiter and its 4 Gallilean moons, Venus, Saturn, M5, M13, double twin stars, twin stars of two colors, and pointed out constellations. I had never seen many of these, and never so big! Our tents were already set up for us, so we tucked in the kids and sat around the campfire. The next morning, we awoke to freshly-​brewed coffee, fruit, yogurt, the best granola (hemp! didn’t know I liked the stuff!), and scrambled eggs with bell peppers. The program was tailored to our group, and was just exactly what we needed.

Not my thing, but pretty similar to other groups. I wouldn’t do it again. If you are looking for a motivational group that puts you into one of four communications styles this will work for you. If you are in sales or consulting you will likely enjoy this.

I was tasked to organize an offsite meeting for our Generation group, which is scattered throughout North America. The decision was to do it at the EDF RE corporate office city of San Diego. There were 24 of us who needed to reconnect, share lessons learned, learn from each other, get to know each other better and improve our communication skills. Positive Adventures were recommended to me by one of my colleagues in another department and all I thought I needed them to help us with was a some sort of FUN team building activity. I initially discussed the plan with Jered who was great but ended up experiencing the «magic» of Ryan.
Positive Adventures does way more than fun corporate activities, they provide a full package of variety organizational development support and I took advantage of it. Ryan, the CEO was «running» the show. We hired them for 4 hours of «team connections» and 2 hrs of fun «Iron Chef» cook off appetizer competition. The Team Connection session was fantastic. We had multiple interactive team exercises that provided analysis a conclusions (allowing for wise take aways) that helped to improve our teamwork, our productivity and communications. We also had a «leadership quadrant» exercise, which was short and interesting allowing us to understand how others prefer to be communicated and how we can positively influence their response. Everyone loved these sessions and Ryan’s facilitation was exceptional. Simply excellent!!!
The appetizer challenge was GREAT!!! And so much FUN! And there was so much food left that we just kept eating and ended up canceling our group dinner and changed it for an evening of drinks.
THANK YOU RYAN!!! I Will definitely recommend you to others.

Just wanted to post a quick comment about my experience with Ryan and his group at positive adventures. What a great group of people to work with. We’re so lucky to have such a wonderful influence in San Diego.
Highly recommended!

We did a ropes course with Ryan and his crew and it was an awesome experience! My entire sales and admin team came out and really learned a lot about working together as a team and trust. I highly recommend and will be working with positive adventures every year. Truly a great experience.

Ryan and his team were amazing in how they coordinated our rock climbing event. They engaged the guests and empowered them to make breakthroughs in the activity and in their life. I would definitely recommend them.

I hired Positive Adventures for a corporate team building event. Ryan and his team spent time on the front end to clearly understand our team’s dynamics so they could gear their program to meet our needs, customize their approach and make sure everyone had fun. They are a team of experts with heart — a rare combination. I’d call them again for our next program! — Shannon

Our non-​profit mentor program had a great experience with Positive Adventures! Ryan, the CEO, was the first contact and was very friendly, professional and generous to our program. The administrative staff, Alicia, made the planning process very smooth and easy. Tracy and Myia were our facilitators for the day and were patient, organized and made it a fun and meaningful day for all of our «Big and Little Sisters». They organized activities that made the girls in the program think about their goals, work as a team and improve their self-​confidence. Everyone had great things to say about the event.

Ryan and Dave came to our school on Friday to do a team building day with the teachers. What an amazing experience! The positivity and energy of the day left everyone ready to start the school year and excited. I would recommend Positive Adventures to everyone… from kids to adults. Actually, they impacted me so much, I hope to work for them sometime in the future.
