EDGE on Wheels  | Mobile & Indoor Programs

EDGE on Wheels is a team building program that MOVES! We can bring programs to you on-site, year-round, indoors or outdoors. We can also bring our programs indoors on Mason’s Fairfax, SciTech, or Mason Square campuses. These programs include hands-on activities with sitting, standing, reaching, talking, and building.

Portable Initiatives or Ground-Based Elements

encompass activities done with both feet on the ground. EDGE programs always start with these in order to get the group comfortable with the program expectations and to build a strong foundation. Edge On Wheels activities contain only these types of initiatives. These types of activities can be facilitated at tables, in conference spaces, or seated. These are also the most accessible activities for individuals with physical limitations.

Duration

Edge on Wheels programs have the most flexibility in duration. We schedule programs as short as 90 minutes and as long as 3 hours. We do not recommend an Edge on Wheels program longer than 3 hours unless it includes additional assessment, professional development, or other program options.

Facility Requirements 

For all programs offsite, the organization is responsible for providing adequate space for the group size and activities planned. When outdoor space is planned, the organization should have a weather plan in place that allows the program to occur rain or shine. The EDGE is not responsible for providing first aid or facility evacuation

We recommend locations such as:

  • Large conference rooms with removable furniture, hotel ballroom spaces, retreat centers, workshop or breakout rooms.
  • Athletic fields, large open grassy spaces, park pavilions
  • Gymnasiums, large stages in auditoriums, classrooms
  • practice theater rooms, community centers, or, reserveable park facilities

We do not recommend restaurants or expo spaces where other activities are co-occurring. We do not recommend auditoriums or classrooms that have fixed seating.
