At ONE AXE Pursuits, we designed three corporate team building programs that have lasted two decades:
1. The Amazing Elora Race 2. Adventure Team Challenge
3. Mission Impossible
The problem is, like choosing off a great menu, it is often difficult to know the subtleties between each corporate team building program and work out what is right for you team. Group size, time of year, indoor/outdoor as well as your budget are all important factors to consider when choosing the most appropriate corporate team building program.
Whether you are local in Elora, Fergus, Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo, the GTA or Toronto, these programs are going to help your team bond and build relationships outside the office. Here's what we recommend based on your group size, time of year, indoor/outdoor, cooperative/competitive nature and budget.
Group Size:
If you are a team of 10-32, the best corporate team building activity is Mission Impossible.
If you are a team of 6-80, the best corporate team building activity is Adventure Team Challenge.
If you are a team of 10-100, the best corporate team building activity is the Amazing Elora Race.
*Smaller groups just pay the minimum rate for minimum number
Time of Year:
If you are planning for spring, summer or fall, the best outdoor corporate team building activities are Adventure Team Challenge and the Amazing Elora Race.
If you are looking for winter, the best corporate team building activity is Mission Impossible.
Indoor versus Outdoor:
If you wanted something indoors, then Mission Impossible is the best corporate team building activity.
If you wanted something outdoors, check out Adventure Team Challenge and the Amazing Elora Race for outdoor corporate team building activities.
Cooperative versus Competitive
The best option for a competitive experience is the Amazing Elora Race.
Both Adventure Team Challenge and Mission Impossible can be modified to be either competitive or cooperative.
Budget:
The most budget friendly option is the Amazing Elora Race which starts at $300 per person. Adventure Team Challenge is $350 per person and Mission Impossible is $450 per person.
Here are some case studies that might be helpful!
Case Study #1
You are a team of 30 with a mixed group where some people are adventurous and some are not. You are looking for an outdoor event in June or September and want some friendly competition and have a budget of $300 per person.
Best choice: Amazing Elora Race with the option to add a zipline challenge.
Case Study #2
You have a large international meeting with 60 people and need to find something that is going to really wow your employees and have them talking about it for years to come. You need something outdoors with some competition. Most people are adventurous and willing to try something new.
Best choice: Adventure Team Challenge
Case Study #3
You have a group of 16 and want to stay indoors. You are not outdoorsy types and wouldn't mind some competition between the small groups.
Best choice: Mission Impossible
