The Grand Quest is our premier team building paddle event.
This is an outdoors, team based, fun competition where we send your group on a quest down the river in your choice of canoes, kayaks, 10 person voyageur canoes and/or rafts. The Grand Quest promotes teamwork and provides an unforgettable experience.
It first involves putting your group through a True ColorsTM Personality Assessment to facilitate self-discovery on personal strengths, intrapersonal and interpersonal skills. This provides the basis for great team interaction.
Assembling your group into teams, they are sent on the Quest in a fun competition with interactive problem solving, orienteering in a secluded forest and exciting paddling in their choice of craft.
Grand Experiences provides all equipment along with a team of highly skilled, experienced guides to coach your team, keep everyone safe and happy plus provide a little extra entertainment along the way.
The event takes place along the Grand River, launching from our docks in Paris and paddling downstream through rare Carolinian Forest to our site in Brant Conservation Area.
At the Conservation Area we host a steak and chicken BBQ for you at the Grand Pavilion. The Grand Quest as it stands with the BBQ is regularly $99 per person.
We do offer scaled back versions of the Grand Quest to include families. Dropping the True ColorsTM portion and/or switching the barbeque to a sausage & chicken on a bun meal.
