Team Building

As the weather transitions from the dreary, cold winter to the warm, sunny spring and summer seasons, staff members crave a chance to step away from their cubicles, phones, and computers. Grant their requests by scheduling a day to conduct a team building activity.  Here are some the trendiest outdoor programs that are sure to please even the grumpiest co-worker:

Pontoon Photo Pursuit:  This unique team building experience will add fun and excitement to any corporate meeting. Guests will divide into teams and trek on a timed photo journey around a lake. They may be asked to snap a shot of a waterfront restaurant, a specific mile marker or just of themselves having fun on the water.  Once time is up, the team with the most challenges documented on the camera will earn bragging rights!

Geoteaming:  Explorers are equipped with GPS receivers to track and pinpoint hidden checkpoints.  Splitting into small teams, participants decode visual and written clues to move along with the GPS system that will lead them to the treasure known as a “cache”. This game of high-tech hide and seek will test communication skills, build trust, and sharpen their competitive edge.

Float Your Boat:  Guests are not just boarding a boat, they are building one…with just cardboard and duct tape!  With no choice but to think outside of the box, participants must put their heads together and figure out a way to stay afloat utilizing these classic non-waterproof materials.  Once they think they can manage a successful trip across the water, teams will race against each other in their boats with only the safety net of a paddle and life jackets.

Retro Recess:  Miss gym class and being picked to play on a dodgeball team?  Well here is your chance to rediscover everyone’s favorite school activity…recess!  Take a trip through childhood lane by playing dodgeball, four square, kickball, red rover, and flag football.

Don’t forget that these activities will encourage hearty appetites, so treat them to a rewarding meal afterwards, such as:  a picnic, outdoor seating at a well-known restaurant, or keep the teambuilding momentum going and supply the teams with the ingredients to create their own ice cream flavor!  The possibilities are endless as will the direction of your product/service once you get them away from their dark and drab desks and inspire them to have a renewed work spirit!
