Outing Highlights
Drive Real Excavators and Bulldozers
The session gives participants direct control of heavy equipment: two Big Dig bulldozers and three Big Dig excavators are on site, letting multiple group members drive at the same time for an immersive, tactile experience.
A Sequence of Hands‑On Challenges
Across the 90‑minute session groups warm up with brief exercises, then rotate through digging deep trenches, creating and backfilling a slot trench, building a tire pyramid and performing mound maneuvers like a teeter‑totter and a hill Tilt‑A‑Whirl.
Designed for Small Teams (5–10)
Sessions are built for groups of five to ten people so that several participants can operate machines simultaneously, encouraging teamwork and a shared sequence of memorable tasks.
