Team Pursuit - Corporate Team Building Activity in Killeen, Texas

Hi, its Tawnya from American Outback Adventures & Events, here with another corporate event update.

Today we had a Team Pursuit for a group of educators in Killeen, Texas. The theme of their meeting was Leadership through Connection, and they were exploring how connecting with, and understanding others, could enhance their leadership abilities and skills. Team Pursuit was the perfect activity for this theme, as it challenges the teams to effectively communicate, strategize, and solve problems. Some of their favourite challenges were “The worst dance off ever”, “Drill sergeant impressions” and “The cha cha slide”. The competition was fun, but fierce, and the scores were close. Overall, a lot of laughter was had, and teams commented they learned a lot, such as identifying team member’s strengths, and completing challenges based on that.

We just completed a great philanthropic event – The Apprentice, with a group of highly competitive teams in Austin, Texas. Each team was tasked with building a child’s bicycle and then judged on 3 components – the building function, the creative customization and marketing presentation to sell the bike. These teams really captured the spirit of a child in their presentations, and then donated these bikes to local deserving children through a charity of their choice. Not only did these teams compete for bragging rights and practice some great skills like time management, strategy, and communication, they also worked hard to put a smile on a child’s face.

Secret Agent 007 - Corporate Team Building Activity in Portland

Hey guys! This is James with American Outback Adventures & Events with another event update.

Today we’re in Portland, and of all things, the sun is shining. It’s a rarity for Portland but it happened. So we took advantage of that. We had a group of entrepreneurs that came into the city and they wanted to experience Portland in a way that they might not be able to otherwise. So we took a little bit of team building, a little bit of sightseeing, and we combined it into a program that we call Secret Agent 007. Each team member is gonna be out in the city playing the role of a secret agent trying to take down the infamous, the infernal, the dubious Dr Black. Now, today these guys went out, they brought a lot of excitement and energy into the program. To dig a little bit deeper, we started out with an ice breaker, we had the group tell each other about their names, and then we transitioned from that into the code names that they were going to be using for the program, and then ultimately what their team name was gonna be. Names carry a lot of weight in this program. They headed into the city, they gathered their intel, they made their observations, they completed their tasks, made it back to headquarters, assembled their file reports, but in the end there could be only one. Regardless, they showed up with smiles on their faces, sweat pouring down their face and it was a great day had by all.

If you’re interested in scheduling your group for a meaningful team building outing or experience, check us out on americanoutback.net. We’d love to have you on the next one.

Art Smart - Corporate Team Building Activity in Simi Valley

Hi everyone, this is Emma from American Outback Adventures & Events, and I wanted to share some photos and stories from one of my new favorite event, it’s called Art Smart.

This event is all about creativity. Teams get together, and with limited starting supplies, plan out what their art work is gonna look like. They then create an art quiz, and to earn additional funds to go to the supply store, where they can purchase all of the necessary tools to create their masterpiece. They get to work, all working, helping together to create the vision. Each of these had a theme. The 2 themes were either “Be Bold” or “Rise to the Challenge” and everyone’s artwork really reflected this. Teams put a lot of effort into their art and at the end, we had a gallery showing, and everyone walked around and voted for their favorite piece. This event is really great if you want a social event where people can mingle and talk. While the art is being created, everyone gets the chance to walk around the room, see what everyone else is doing and have a great time. It also works really well if you’re gonna be serving any food or drinks. This event can be accommodated in any sized room with any size group.

If you think that your team would love a creative event like this at their next event/gathering, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.

The Apprentice - Corporate Team Building Activity in Redmond

Hi, it’s Jules with another corporate event update with American Outback Adventures & Events.

Today we were in Redmond, Washington where we hosted a custom Apprentice event for a large technology company. Their goal was to customize our event to fit their theme of their meetings, which was all about startup ventures. There were representatives from all over the world, Germany to China to the US. Teams were tasked to create a unique startup company name and a product name, and were asked to present their final completed bike in front of the group. We tailored our quiz to include questions about their startup theme, which gave teams the opportunity to purchase more decorative items to customize their bikes. When it came time to present, it was all hands on deck, and of course, being a technology company, they used all the resources at their disposal to create some amazing presentations on powerpoint to the group, all while showcasing their product. At the end of the event, these bikes were donated to families in the community with the help of a local organization.
