Over the years, Mother Lode has worked with dozens of local, regional, national and even international organizations such as eBay, Nugget Markets, Carta, Unity Care Group, Intel, Apple, as well as Fire, Police, US Air Force Parajumpers and internationally ranked Adventure Racing Teams.

At Mother Lode, we have an array of activity possibilities for your group. Our approach to designing your program is informed by data driven studies, such as Google’s “Aristotle” Program, which show that creating an atmosphere in which team members learn to support and care for their teammates is the key element in team success, whether you are IT workers or Navy Seals.

Our two most popular corporate programs are a full day on the ropes course or combining a half-day ropes course and a half day rafting.

But the choice is yours: You can do any of the activities separately, as well. All of our programs incorporate elements of team building, problem solving, communication, creative thinking, cohesion and, most importantly, FUN! And don’t think just because we are off the ropes course and in a raft that the team building has stopped — the American River will put your team’s skills to the test.
