Practising sport on a regular basis is essential for our health. More and more people are aware of the good habits that come with a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet. In many jobs, however, and office roles in particular, there is very little movement throughout the day, which can lead to long-term problems. At CREA Group we have found a way to bring together team building and sport, so here we share some of the activities we design to boost positivity, social bonds and motivation within the company.
We have selected five highly requested activities that will help your team stay fit while they have fun and work together. They fit naturally into corporate programmes and can be combined with the rest of our event services for a fully rounded experience.
The gymkhana. A classic for encouraging teamwork and trusting your colleagues. Overcoming obstacles against the clock, fishing blindfolded while a teammate guides you, or running a sack race are some of the challenges we propose in this activity, which lasts around two hours.
Canoeing, kayaking or rafting. An activity anyone can take on, with or without prior experience. It mirrors the obstacles and challenges companies face every day: making decisions while everyone is quite literally in the same boat, tackling more complicated situations as a team and ultimately overcoming them together.
Paintball. Storming the enemy camp and hitting rivals with paint is the mission here. It puts strategy, leadership and quick decision-making to the test.
Rowing. Reaching shared goals often means everyone pulling in the same direction. That is exactly what this activity is about: participants have to coordinate to move forward as they row, and so reach the finish line.
Padel. A sport many people love. Employees face their rivals in pairs to become the best in the company. Coordination and trust are on the line in a great challenge they will thoroughly enjoy.
Active experiences like these are only one piece of a successful programme. Whether you are planning corporate events, company meetings or conventions, sport-based team building pairs perfectly with the right framework and a clear objective.
As a destination management company in Spain, we can build these activities into a wider incentive programme, round off the day with a memorable catering experience and host everything in one of our unique venues. From our teams in Barcelona and Madrid, we design active programmes across Spain's leading MICE destinations.
Tell us your goals and we will design the perfect active team building experience for your company. Get in touch with CREA Group.
