The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity in Toronto

Hi everyone, this is Nick with Canadian Outback Adventures & Events with another corporate team building event update.

Today we are at the Ontario Science Center in Toronto where we hosted a group of 120 finance professionals participating in the Apprentice. This event was the perfect way to inject some energy into their scheduled agenda, while still engaging everyone in meaningful and productive ways. It’s no surprise that these mathematical magicians were very safety and budget conscious, however, the creativity inspired designs, hilarious presentations really made the afternoon a hit. The Apprentice is a great blend of strategy, creativity and team work, guaranteed to get people working with one another in new and unfamiliar ways. At the end of the event, we had a charity come in to accept the bikes as a donation to some deserving children. The Apprentice is fun and it’s an event that you can feel good about.

The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity in Toronto

Hi there, this is Jason Reichert from Canadian Outback Adventures & Events with a corporate event update from Toronto, Ontario.

We just recently wrapped up an event here in Toronto with a small group, with big heart. Teams were tasked with building, customizing and presenting a marketing campaign for children’s bicycles. These bicycles were then donated to a local charity of the group’s choice. The group was particularly excited about giving back to the local community in the philanthropic aspect of the event. It was highly competitive and they immediately got into the spirit of the event. Not only were they forced to manage their time and resources effectively, but they had to collaborate and negotiate in order to successfully complete the task at hand and be crowned – The Apprentice.

The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity in Lake Louise



This is Kristen with another corporate event update.

Our latest event took us to Lake Louise, Canada in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. This event was for a sales rep appreciation retreat who wanted a community service aspect to their retreat. The Apprentice Bike Build was a perfect for this group. As part of their overall retreat, participants went snow shoeing, dog sledding, skiing and skating, experiencing the active Rocky Mountain lifestyle. Experiencing this made them aware of the impact their donations would have in the local community. It was great to see teams working together in the community and contributing to a fantastic cause.

The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity in Toronto



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

Today we are in downtown Toronto with a national legal insurance company who was super excited to participate in The Apprentice. This group of 20 was one of the most creative groups I have ever had the pleasure to work with yet. Most of the group was from the Toronto office while others came from Vancouver and Montreal. The goal of this event was to have the participants challenged in a unique way that required them to work with colleagues they don’t always work directly with in a more creative environment. I would say mission accomplished as these groups presented some of the most creative pitches I have ever seen. They managed their time perfectly and really brought out their A-game. The presentations focused on imagination, there were theatrical and super funny. Another key factor about this event that this group really cherished was the giving back aspect. All of these bikes were donated to an active local children’s organization. We even had a representative come and speak about their programs so the group have thorough understanding of where these bikes were going. Overall, this event was a huge hit and we look forward to working with this company again.

The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity in Burnaby



Canadian Outback Adventures & Events hosted one of the popular Apprentice event for a leading Canadian food and beverage company that recently merged.

As an opportunity for the newly combined teams to get to know one another and begin working together in Burnaby, BC, Canada. The creativity, collaboration, and ability to strategize and adapt to ever changing challenges really came to the fore front as they assembled, decorated and presented marketing campaigns for children’s bicycles while under very tight time constraints, otherwise, nothing but huge beaming smiles in the room as an ambassador from the Boys and Girls Club charity accepted the donated bicycles and shared with everyone the very personal stories of the children and families who would be receiving the bikes. It was a really wonderful and heart warming experience for everyone.

The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity in Mississauga

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

Today we are in Mississauga with a local product manufacturing company. We worked with a group of 20 who was very excited to participate in The Apprentice. We split everyone into 4 teams and I have to say, this group really captured the big picture with this event. Everyone was extremely motivated to do a great job with their bikes because they were being donated to a local children’s charity organization. That aspect alone brought so much energy and positivity to the event. With this group, being the marketing department at their company, the pitches reached a new level of creativity. We had some groups dressed up and act like children for their pitch. We had a very detailed role out plan to get the bikes on the market and also had an extremely touching presentation about you remembering your very first bike, but the winning team had the pitch where they had the whole room dancing into the song “Barbie Girl”. The dedication this group had in building, decorating and pitching their bikes was outstanding. They all demonstrated phenomenal team work, strategy and executed exceptional negotiating skills to acquire the tools they needed.

The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity in Toronto

Hello, it’s Dolena from Canadian Outback Adventures & Events with another corporate event update.

Today we are downtown Toronto working with a national banking company on The Apprentice. We had a rather small group today, 7 people, who are VPs of different departments. Although it was small, we were not lacking in fun and creativity. One of the goals for this event was to practice collaboration while working together. I have to say, this was definitely achieved today. Both teams did an excellent job of sharing ideas and coming up with the ultimate children’s bike. One team created a technology pony bike while the other had a Minnie and Mickey Mouse bike. The decorations were well thought out and unique, but it was the pictures in the end that really made the scores close. Everyone worked together and participated in a way that suited their skills. What also motivated these teams to do a good job was that these bikes were being donated to a local mother shelter. All around, there were good vibes and positive teamwork.

The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity in Etobicoke

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

Today we were at the beautiful venue of the Old Mill Inn in Etobicoke, Toronto. This event day was extra special because we ran 2 events for the corporate services department of a local college. 50 participants joined forces to solve a mystery with our Crime Investigators event and also built bikes for deserving children with the Apprentice. During this group’s annual meeting we mixed everyone up into teams and have them search for crime scenes and collect evidence. Everyone was so detail oriented to try and solve this crime. They collected all kinds of things from each scene, and some even picked up some garbage, thinking it might have been useful. It was a great time and everyone demonstrated excellent team work and collaboration. After lunch at the inn, we broke everyone into different teams to build, decorate and pitch children’s bikes. Everyone loved this activity, especially because of the charitable aspect. All 10 bikes were donated to the children’s breakfast club. A great highlight from the day was watching them pitch with the Avenger bike. A gentleman, who seems to be more on the quite side all day, came out of nowhere and sang the Captain America song on the top of his lungs. It was a great moment for the whole group.

The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity in Markham



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

Today we are in Markham, working with a project consultant company. Today, this group of 12 participated in the Apprentice. Half the group was made up of the company’s clients from all over the world. We had people from Belgium, Germany, and parts in Asia. This was a wonderful opportunity for the company to bond with their clients while also showcasing the company’s values in giving back to the community. Since the bikes were being donated to a local children’s organization. Everyone had so much fun working together in their teams. Everyone’s creative side came out and it clearly showed in the decorations and especially in their presentations. My cheeks were sore from laughing so much, it was just hilarious. We had teams singing, dancing, acting, they even made a rap. It was such a good time. This group really embraced the challenges and also came up with some creative negotiating tactics when purchasing tools from our Apprentice store to build their bikes. Overall, it was a great day.

The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity in Ottawa



Hi everyone, this is Nick with Canadian Outback Adventures & Events with another corporate event update.

Today we are at a hotel in downtown Ottawa where we hosted 75 financial management experts participating in our ever so popular and philanthropic event – The Apprentice. There were representatives from Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto, congregating for an all staff meeting and they chose the Apprentice as a pre-dinner activity to let everyone unwind after a morning of meetings. The presentations put forward by these teams really showed the incredible sense of community felt in the room. We got to hear bilingual skits, a clever hip hop inspired rap by the winning duo, and there was even a bubble machine added to the bike of one very resourceful team. Creativity was king today and the best part is, 15 deserving children will be receiving their first bikes because of this afternoon.
