Groups are constantly forming and reforming.  In some cases, how these groups function is just as important as why these groups function.  IT’S IN THE BAG was created to develop positive group dynamics through a multitude of experiences.  These experiences were specifically selected to provide a foundation for trust and communication – the cornerstone of any good group.  With this pro-active approach to group dynamics, IT’S IN THE BAG will increase group productivity while providing a sense of community.
