Philanthropic Corporate Team Building Activity At Its Finest in Toronto



Marybeth here from Canadian Outback Adventures & Events with another corporate event update.

Last week we ran our Apprentice event for a merchant service company at the unique Airship 37 venue in Toronto’s historic distillery district. Participants were split into 10 teams of 5 people and asked to build, enhance and customize a children’s bike by shopping at the apprentice store for tools and materials they needed. Teams were given an initial budget to spend at the store, but needed to complete tasks and collaborate with other teams in order to get the supplies they needed. Additionally, teams had to create an innovative advertising campaign to market and sell their bike. Some teams chose to do a skit while others highlighted the unique features of their bike. These presentations were done in front of the entire group, creating lots of laughs and great memories. Food and beverages were served throughout the event, making it relaxed, fun, and a social atmosphere. The top 3 teams were chosen by the Apprentice advisers, the winning team was chosen by popular vote and awarded Canadian Outback medals. Teams also created unique team name and the price went to the most creative name. Concluding the event, children from Big Brothers and Big Sisters of the Holstian Region and Native Child and Family Services of Toronto were welcomed into the event room to receive their brand new bicycles. The special guest and bike donation was a complete surprise for the participants. This was an amazing and touching end to a fun evening, especially seeing the children ride the bikes around with big smiles on their faces.

The Apprentice is a great team building event, but not only is it fun and interactive event to build your team, but is also a great way to give back to the community.
