TEAM BONDING PROGRAMS
Sometimes, all a team needs is to have some good, old-fashioned fun together! In our Team Bonding programs, the primary goal is establishing and/or strengthening personal relationships within a team or group. In these programs, the emphasis is placed on fun, personal connection, and spending time together in a non-work atmosphere so that team members can get to know each other and just enjoy being together. Team Bonding is often the starting point for Team Building and Team Development Programs.
Recommended minimum duration for reaching your goals: 4 hrs. to 1 Day
Essential Elements Energizer
Group Sizes: 10-200 Possible Duration: 2-3 Hours
Price Range: Starts at $20 per person
Description:
Essential Elements Teasers are exactly as the name implies a shortened “teaser” version of our popular Essential Elements program. We have found that more and more of our corporate clients are looking for team building programs but simply do not have the time to devote to either a half day or full day program. Experiments with this program have provided return customers who were surprised at what we could do in a shortened time frame and are now looking for something bigger. Think of it as an appetizer for future programs and as a way to more clearly define future team building goals for your company.
