Urban Olympics - Corporate Team Building Activity in Toronto Island

Hey there! It’s Dolena with another corporate event update from Canadian Outback Adventures & Events.

Today we are running Urban Olympics on the beautiful Toronto Island. This group of 20 from a local software company were excited and eager to get the games started. The scavenger hunt style event had the participants split into teams and locate a variety of challenges located throughout the island using a passport book. It was critical for the teams to strategize together because each challenge had different point values – bronze being the least and gold being the most. This group proved to be very competitive as they literally ran all over the island, we had 2 teams even complete all 13 challenges. This being more of a physical event, some of the favourite activities were the “Shot-put challenge” and the “Rhythmic Gymnastics routine” which was just hilarious to watch and participate in. Everyone had loads of fun and really got to know some of their colleagues that they don’t get the chance to work with at the office. They earned a restful dinner on the island before they ferried back to the big city.

Bring the Olympics in your Corporate Team Building Activity with Urban Olympics

Hi this is Jill with another corporate event update.

It is September 9^th in Whistler, BC, we have just completed an Urban Olympics for a local financial company. They have come up from Vancouver to do a retreat here in Whistler and we were brought in to do Urban Olympics which was a fantastic event to do in Whistler just because we just had the Olympics here a few years ago. So, lots of really awesome Olympic landmarks for us to be able to focus the event around, as well as being able to theme a lot of our challenges around some of the Olympic events. I think the highlight was probably the Olympic obstacle course that we did with the group, they really loved the high energy of it. We had targets set up and they were using sling shots, throw and send the beads to having to shoot the targets, they just thought it was the funnest thing ever, it was really awesome. The clients goal with this event was to get the participants engaged in outside of their comfort zone, so they had a lot of challenges that got them not only to interact with their co-workers, but as well as, appeal for the public, as well as their staff, just getting that extra bit of interaction in there for the event. Everyone had a fantastic time, really enjoyed working with this group, they have great energy level for the entire event and had a lot of team spirit in the end which is fantastic to see.
