More than the usual consensus-building activities

Three related activities provide new training flexibility
The Grand Canyon Adventures package includes six interrelated activities on problem solving, collaboration, and consensus decision-making, which makes the program extremely flexible.

It will motivate and focus participants on the activities, and ensure high-impact learning.
