In this energetic, collaborative event, teams work together to build an actual bridge that has the strength to support the weight of the entire group. There are two unique aspects of this project: each section of the bridge will be an independent artistic representation of your participants' future mission and goals, AND the fundamental building materials of the structure are cardboard and duct tape!
