Wild Goose Chase - Corporate Team Building Activity in Scottsdale

Hi, this is Emma from American Outback Adventures & Events, just gonna share with you a little bit about our Wild Goose Chase.

This time we ran it in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. This was in old town, which was a great location for all of the fun challenges that these teams went through. The weather was perfect even though it’s winter – loved the desert for that, and there was plenty of shops, people, attractions and landmarks for the teams to select from. They competed in over 60 challenges and at the end, the team with the most points was of course awarded the victors. This all wrapped up with a nice dinner and cocktail hour where they were allowed to share stories and photos and talk about their experiences in each team.


If you think your company and co-workers would enjoy an exciting event like this one, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.

The Apprentice / Minute To Win It - Corporate Team Building Activity in Orange County

This is James from American Outback Adventures with another event update.

Today we are in beautiful, sunny southern California at the St. Regis hotel, the 5 star resort down here. We’ve been contracted by a biotech company to provide a full day of team building. Now, in the morning they chose our Apprentice program which is a beautiful, wonderful program. It involves creativity, planning, group problem solving, but ultimately, the end goal is that each team gets to put together a bike, and that bike gets to be donated to a child here in Orange County, or if we did it in your town, it would be donated to a child in your area. So it’s a great way to support the community, it’s a great way to explore team concepts with your team. Our charity came in, explained to the group the impact that that bike was gonna make on the demographic that they serve, and it was a touching moment, lots of heartfelt high fives, hugs, and the team definitely, definitely got a sense of what their donation was gonna do.

Now in the afternoon, after we broke for lunch, the team opted for something a little bit, I’m gonna go goofier, silly-er. These guys chose our Minute to Win It program, and let me tell you folks, the Minute to Win It program is the perfect way to just relax and let loose for an afternoon of fun team activities. If you have ever seen the TV show, you know you compete in a series of 1 minute seemingly simple challenges but you compete as an individual. With our version, we’ve taken those seemingly simple challenges and created team activities out of each one. So if your team is the team that completes the most challenges with the most number of points, you’re gonna win the Minute to Win It challenge. We had a winner today, it was a great time. Everybody left with smiles, lots of laughter.

The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity in Las Vegas

Hi, this is Emma from American Outback Adventures & Events, here to share some photos and information about our recent ApprenticeBike Build in Las Vegas.

This event was held at the SLS hotel which was a great unique venue, really helpful and on top of it. The excitement in this event began with over a hundred and sixty participants. We had 23 bikes that we’re building for a local Nevada charity. At the end of this event, the charity came out and spoke a little bit about what it means to them and the kids to be receiving these bikes. Everyone in the crowd was impressed with the charity and the work that they have done over the course of the 3 hours. The bikes looked amazing and they were going to a great home.
