Team Building
Exploring the states of group development

By Jim Cain

Throughout the season, camp staff members progress through various levels of group development. These stages are both necessary and normal:

Forming                         Storming                            Norming                         Performing                Transforming


You can help your staff navigate each stage by exploring the following activities with them, using the tools and suggestions provided.  

 

Forming
The Forming Stage is the polite, get-acquainted, ice-breaking phase of group development. This process begins the moment new staff members assemble. Members are just trying to identify who’s who, and where they fit in. This stage includes forming an atmosphere of safety, acceptance and avoidance of controversy, and is filled with guidance from the camp director. Get-acquainted and community-building activities are used in this first stage.
