About Paul Plotkin, the founder of Mission Grit™:
My self-realization journey began with having the privilege to serve in the military, where I discovered various ways of overcoming physical and mental hardships, and how from complete strangers people become more than one family to another with the power of teamwork and devotion. I am forever grateful for the friendships and the life lessons that have been given to me during my service.
Fast forward and here I am building businesses and meeting great people. Through my business establishments, I had the opportunity to work with influential individuals...

One of our core values is to teach children the art of teamwork through team building challenges and life lessons. This is represented with five people working together.
The lab tube represents science, expiremnantion, innovation and progression. We believe that children need to be encouraged to learn how to think, not what to think. Dare systems and bring innovation through trial and error. Think creatively, experiment, and learn how to follow through when things don’t go smoothly.

Leadership is represented by the large-scale individual that is creating relationships with the team, leading team members on their journey, and taking responsibilities upon themself.
TRAINING PHILOPSOPHY

S.P.I.R.I.T™ METHOD
The modern child is smart, fast paced, technologically dependent, critical and hard to impress. This is why we have carefully crafted the S.P.I.R.I.T™method, a revolutionary training philosophy parents have been waiting for. The S.P.I.R.I.T™ method was created to effectively teach Hard Skills (Physical capabilities, Technical skills) and develop Soft Skills (Grit, Confidence, Problem solving) that balance fun kids activities, life skills, social interaction, and positive values.
Our activities are influenced by disciplines such as Natural Science and Social Science. Natural Science is reflected through the utilization of various aspects of Physics, such as energy, force and mechanics. Our facility is like one big engineering lab with multi level structures, ropes, bridges, carts, hoists, planks, cubes, plumbing tubes, power tools, electricity related components and other pieces of equipment that allow us to easily “engineer” new course configuration and alter activities. Social Science is reflected through the social interaction between the participants in our teambuilding and scenario based quests. We are constantly learning, observing and experimenting to create the most unique experiences for our students and guests.
Problem solving is embedded in every task of our curriculum through various scenario based quests, mind games and team challenges. Our students learn to simplify challenges, make data analysis, and provide effective solutions. We take a ‘long term’ developmental approach by providing fun, creative, educational experiences, ‘in the moment’ mentorship and reinforcement.
Children are high energy and natural explorers. Our concept is specifically designed to move our children's body and mind. Our activities are well balanced between challenging obstacles courses, exercising, educational games, team building challenges and scenario based quests, all powered by high energy, awesome music and a sense of urgency.
We believe that in order to develop Respect within a child, showing respect is not enough. This calls for an active role of doing, practicing, and taking responsibility for your actions. Our children practice respect through discipline, accountability, kindness, gratitude, patience, empathy and the development of self esteem.
We believe that children learn best through interactive activities as this develops curiosity, teaches skills and makes it fun. This is why all of our activities are hands-on, where children apply knowledge and create actions. During the activities our instructors monitor the actions and provide corrective or positive feedback.
We introduce children to the art of teamwork by giving them real hands-on experiences, through clever team building challenges, scenario based quests and the incorporation of a non competitive environment where everyone feels comfortable and connected. During these action based tasks we carefully develop the understanding of the teamwork triangle (T3) that consists of Trust, Communication and Devotion.
