FINDING PURPOSE IN THE PINES
Using our intentionally designed challenge course, with the historic Cook Island Pines as a landscape, your group will be led through a series of obstacles, both mentally and physically, meant to test and strengthen the bonds that hold each group together. Your seasoned and experienced facilitator will serve as a guide throughout the experience, carefully and quietly supporting the group in reaching your end goals of connectivity, communication, cohesion and collaboration.
As every group faces different levels of adversity, each experience will be uniquely tailored to you. Program lengths will differ depending on group needs, ranging from a few hours to multiple meetings over a period of weeks.
LĀNA’I ADVENTURE
HISTORY: COOK ISLAND PINES
One of the original pines on the island of Lanai was a Ione Norfolk Island Pine, first planted at Koele in 1875 as a gift from King David Kalakaua to Walter Murray Gibson. While living on the Koele Ranch in a house set under the original pine, ranch manager George C. Munro began to notice the sound of constant water drops on the corrugated roof. It was then he realized that the fog and clouds were a result of the pine boughs creating huge amounts condensation.
In order to begin restoring the island from decades of depredation from feral sheep and goats, Munro implemented planting programs to plant these pines across the island. Pulama Lanai is continuing to carry out this program. It is estimated that the bough of Cook Island Pines planted along the Lanai Hale summit generate enough fog drip to equal almost 200 inches of rain.
