Summer is peak season for team building!

As the warmer months approach and Christmas parties reach full swing, more companies will use the opportunity to hold recreational outdoor team events for their staff.

Michael Cromie from Corporate Challenge Events explores this season’s top six team building activities for companies from Perth to Auckland.

1. Survivor

“Based on the popular reality television series, Survivor is an ideal program for the summer months. The beauty of Survivor is its various activities and challenges can be tailored to suit the actual environment being used for the day, whether that’s a beach, park, bushland or sport’s reserve. Everyone can participate regardless of fitness level and, like the TV show, will combine strategy and skill until a sole survivor reigns.”

2. City Scramble

“As the name suggests, City Scramble pits teams against each other in a race around a certain location - a CBD, a small town, a suburb, a precinct or even large parkland. It’s a great way to experience a destination and learn about its landmarks, history and features along the way. Teams will have plenty of fun too as they navigate around the course completing challenge after challenge.”

3. It’s a Knockout

“With plenty of inflatable activities, bright colours and obstacle courses, It’s A Knockout is a throwback to the popular 80s TV program. It is perfect for a flat outdoor venue such as a park or oval where numerous inflatable obstacles and novelty challenges can be set up. Maximising the great outdoors, it’s a recreational program that promotes team interaction and plenty of laughter with an 80s theme.”

4. Beach Olympics

“The summer season and beach go hand in hand. What better way to experience both than together in a fun team activity. Beach Olympics features a mix of recreational challenges that can cater for all fitness levels on the soft sand of a beach with the glistening ocean as a refreshing backdrop. With the next Commonwealth Games coming up, this will be a popular program for companies to stage their own Games.”

5. Raft Regatta

“When there is chance of getting wet, obviously the best time to do this is in the warmer months! Raft Regatta is a test for teams in resourcefulness and creativity with the possibility of a splash at the end. This program takes teams through a whirlwind of recreational and problem solving activities with the ultimate aim to build a raft. The exciting conclusion is a raft race across a lake, creek or pool.”

6. Give A Dog A Home

“The end of year is a time of giving. This presents an opportunity for groups to undertake a team building program for a cause. One of these programs is Give A Dog A Home which can be run in a park with the added benefit of supporting animals in need. Teams work through a series of activities to ultimately build and decorate a dog kennel. After an overall winner is judged, the kennels are then donated to an animal charity or shelter.”
