Challenger Learning Center History

Corporate Connection

Challenger Learning Center’s focus on teamwork is a perfect catalyst for corporate team building. The unique learning environment demands the attention of the participants, captures their imagination and drives home your training message in a dramatic and memorable way.

The key is simulation. Instead of squinting at overheads, participants are thrown into a demanding space mission that forces them to work together to survive a life and death scenario. The success of the mission depends on effective communication and problem solving skills. The mission shatters routine conference room trainings with an unforgettable staff experience!

Perfect for:

  • Staff and sales events
  • Board retreats
  • Incentive meetings
  • Strategy and planning
  • Celebrations
  • Company & client appreciation events

Flight Plan Options

  • Mission to Mars
