Team BRIDGES is great, but don’t take our word for it!

Here’s what a few of our clients have to say.

Thank you and your entire team for a wonderful time with Team BRIDGES for our family event. Each and every one from 10 to 70 enjoyed every single minute of our time there! It was a pleasure to see all the grandparents having such a good time going for whatever they could.”

Rachana Vaghela, Vaghela family

Our company has used Team BRIDGES for team building activities on multiple occasions, and each time the experience is rewarding and fulfilling. The team at BRIDGES organizes the activities in a way that is engaging, fun, and effective, driving home the lessons learned from each activity. It’s done in such a way that you don’t even realize you’re learning until afterward—during the experience, you’re just having fun!”

Michael Walker, ServiceMaster

Thank you so much for this awesome experience! Being up there was so exhilarating. It gives me a whole new perspective on life. I feel like I can do anything! Thanks again for providing me with the wings to fly!”

Tika Tinnon, FedEx

Team Building FAQs

We at Team BRIDGES are excited to work with you and your team!

Before you arrive for your event, let us answer a few common questions about what you can expect:

Will I be forced to do the high ropes course/climb the wall/do something I’m afraid of?
Team BRIDGES operates by the “Challenge by Choice” philosophy. This means no one will be required to do anything they don’t want to do. We believe that growth, both as an individual and a team, happens while outside of the comfort zone, but we also recognize that comfort zones are different in every situation for every individual.
It’s up to the participants to set their own boundaries. Team BRIDGES provides a positive and encouraging space for these choices to happen. Our staff comprises highly trained professionals, and we’ll be present to assist you throughout your experience. Adaptations can be made for all willing participants.
‍

What should I bring?
1. Waivers are mandatory for participation in all Team BRIDGES activities. A waiver must be filled out for each participant individually. If a participant is under 18 years of age, the waiver must be signed by a parent or legal guardian.
2. Closed-toed shoes are also mandatory. Open toe-shoes are not permitted on the high ropes course but are allowed on the rock wall.
3. Please wear comfortable clothing. Athletic wear, jeans, and shorts are acceptable. If you’ll be participating in the rock wall or high ropes course, you’ll be wearing a harness. The harness will fit snugly around your thighs and waist. Pants or long shorts are generally more comfortable to wear under a harness.
4. Feel free to bring a water bottle to keep with you during activities. It’s important to stay hydrated during your visit at BRIDGES. We do have a water fountain, but having a personal water bottle cuts down on time for drink breaks, which leaves more time for fun!

What does Team BRIDGES expect from me?
Our number one priority is safety. Before every activity, a Team BRIDGES staffer will give the group instructions. It’s your responsibility to listen carefully to these instructions and follow them closely. If at any time you have questions, concerns, or feel like you’re moving outside of the boundaries you’ve set for yourself, please notify a Team BRIDGES staffer immediately. Our goal is to help participants feel confident, to keep all willing participants engaged and included, and for everyone to have an enjoyable experience.

Every student counts.

Young people are born with creativity and passion to lead. BRIDGES has worked with thousands of students to unlock that potential and activate new generations of leaders across Memphis.
