Corporate Castaways - Corporate Team Building Activity in Langley



This is Jordan with another corporate event update from Canadian Outback Adventures & Events.

Our latest event was a Corporate Castaway event plan for a team from the technology sector. Corporate Castaway is an event that recreates challenges from the popular TV series “Survivor”. Tribes have the opportunity to experience challenges first hand such as “Blind leading the blind”, “Triage”, “Tuckered Out” and many more. Tribes compete with the goal of surviving elimination. The company’s office was located in Langley, BC, and offered a sensational venue as the sun was shining and the birds were chirping. The green space beside the office was more than spacious enough to recreate the Corporate Castaway ambiance. The main focus of today’s event was for the small, tight knit team to form stronger bonds and offer conversation pieces other than work chat. This was achieved as the tribes navigated their way to success for each and every challenge.

Amazing Chase - Corporate Team Building Activity in Toronto



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

Today we are in downtown Toronto with 25 participants from a local estate owner company. This group had loads of fun participating in their very own – Custom Amazing Chase. By customizing the course, the route allowed participants from France, England and the States, and all over Canada the chance to visit specific assets their company owns. We started at the bottom of Yonge street and worked our way up all the way to Blorr. The TTC was used in this chase so the teams could cover more ground and the teams were filled with high energy and loved being able to step outside and away from their meetings to have some fun in the beautiful weather. Some of the team’s favourite challenges were building a team pyramid and untangling themselves from the human knot. It was pretty funny. There were lots of laughs that were shared and memories that were made.

The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity in Winnipeg



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

Today we are at a hotel in downtown Winnipeg, where we hosted 30 engineers participating in the Apprentice. The group had representatives from every Canadian province and territory for an afternoon that let them bond and fun and light hearted ways. Being engineering professionals, it was no surprise that the group’s attention to detail and safety and budget awareness was top notch. Some people might say, “You can take the engineer out of the office, but you can’t take the office out of the engineer” though don’t be fooled. These engineers got the chance to show their wild side, breaking into song to earn extra credit, cycling around the room and delivering some highly competitive, and often musical pitches. The enthusiasm was incredible.

Iron Chef Barbeque Challenge - Corporate Team Building Activity in Ottawa



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

Today we are in the nation’s capital – Ottawa, where a national auto shop company is participating in the Iron Chef Barbeque Challenge. This group of 45 was split into seven teams where they have to cook a four-course meal, create a menu, and a beverage, while filling the pressures of beating the clock. The teams delegated roles and heated up the park with their delicious dishes. It was a great opportunity for everyone to contribute to their team with their own unique skills such as time management, creativity, presentation skills, communication, and of course, their talents with the grill. We had some teams make their very own homemade candy which was delicious, and sauces, and some teams made their dishes look beautiful – totally restaurant quality. With everyone being from all over Canada in this group, it was a great way for colleagues to take a break from their meetings and get to know each other in a fun and unique environment.

Corporate Castaways - Corporate Team Building Activity in Jasper



Hi everyone! It’s Michelle with Canadian Outback Adventures & Events with another corporate event update.

We have just finished a Corporate Castaways at the Jasper Park lodge in beautiful Jasper, British Columbia. We did our event down by Lake Treefoil which is on property at the Jasper Park Lodge. This setting was perfect, very Tree’d area, with a gorgeous lake view, no wind and it was a beautiful day in Jasper. It was about 27 degrees, so the group had a fantastic time completing cerebral and physical challenges as a team. The group themselves were from a law office that has offices in Calgary and Edmonton so this was a good weekend away for them to come together as a team, complete a variety of team building events including our Corporate Castaways. The group themselves had a fantastic time, the participants had a lot of fun and really got to work together to solve the challenges and really help each other through every aspect of the day. They were a very encouraging group and we had all different kinds of departments with us on that day and they all got to work together and, kind of, have a fun activity. It was a little different than anything they had done before, so they were extremely happy.
