Trust Walk Instruction Page

Activities, Coaching Activities, Instructions, Teamwork Activities, Trust Activities

Participants walk through a course blindfolded and lead by a partner.

This is one of the most powerful and, ironically, one of the simplest events we offer. The Trust Walk is about leading, following and communication. Many leadership styles emerge during this event. Some find it difficult to be responsible for another person’s safety and others find it exhilarating.

To trust or give up control can be very hard for some people. Whatever the experience, the Trust Walk is a powerful learning opportunity.
