You might have heard about boat building and racing, but never with exciting twists like this one! This is a fantastic, outdoor, summer event in which teams must build boats out of cardboard, tape and plastic– that will actually carry two people and stay afloat. Unique and fun-filled options like having to hunt for tools and materials or finding mysterious boxes that might be helpful or just red herrings—are all built into the team competition to “get off the island.” It is a fabulous team event that we can tie to any number of business lessons– including communications, group consensus, teamwork, and quality. Basic blueprints for the boats are available, but teams can modify these or totally design their own watercraft. Because there is a real boat race in the end (with life jackets), it is a particularly exciting and very wet event!
“The staff is still abuzz today about the event; it far exceeded every expectation I had and then some. This year has been a challenging one for our organization and staff morale has taken a bit of a dive. In swooped Corporate Games and voila, the impact was magical! We had folks from all different departments interacting in a supportive and positive way and people who might normally barricade themselves behind walls of indifference, really getting into the spirit of the day. The event’s design was pure genius—perfectly suited to a group like ours!”–USTA
