Facilitating Outdoor Activities

Many of our outdoor offerings can be enjoyed by groups on their own; however, activities like the High and Low Ropes Courses, Tree Climbing, Canoeing and Kayaking require trained facilitation due to safety requirements and equipment logistics.

Contact DaySpring Reservations for details about facilitation by the DaySpring staff or one of our partners. Reserve a time for your group by calling DaySpring Reservations at (941) 776-1018.

Pathfinder

Founded in 1993, Pathfinder Outdoor Education is a non-profit organization dedicated to building personal, social and environmental responsibility through the power of shared experience. We offer experiential educational programs that develop leadership, increase self-confidence, and enhance communication through trust and team building activities. Canoeing, high ropes, and outdoor living skills are just a few of the fun, outdoor activities participants can do, working together to gain new skills in problem-solving, resolving conflict, listening, observing, and working effectively in a group.

Common Ground has had a strong partnership with DaySpring since 2000, both in managing their ropes course and providing programming for clients who visit the conference center. DaySpring provides a wonderful challenge and ropes course which offers quality adventure-based programming. It is a model that has been duplicated with other facilities throughout the state, and is a special place for Common Ground.
