Craft of Challenge: Colorado Team Building that Connects

Team building doesn’t just happen. Like everything else, you must start with a great plan and a fun place. When it comes to planning a corporate outing, scheduling a company retreat, or looking for a team building venue, one thing is for certain, you will want to be sure to choose a team building activity that connects. Here are a few Colorado team building activities that do just that.

Climb to New Heights

Wall climbing, ropes courses, and ziplining are wildly popular team building activities. This venue offers your team the opportunity to build stronger relationships that will transfer into the workplace.

The Edge


Denver’s #1 zipline tour at Phillip S. Miller Park, The Edge features 10 thrilling ziplines that let you soar 50 mph over 1-1/2 miles. But that’s not the only activity available at Castle Rock. Other options include the Epic Adventure Tower with a 42’ climbing wall, 4 rappelling stations, and the 70’ Eagles Nest platform. There’s also an Epic Sky Trek and a 3-level challenge course with 110 + elements to conquer. All activities offer your group fun and exciting opportunities to problem solve, encourage and support one another, and take on new challenges.

Fun and Games

Laughter and entertainment are the best (and most enjoyable) ways for your bunch to bond. These venues offer up engaging and unique ways to bring your group together.

Rocky Mountain Vibes at UC Health Park


If your team hasn’t visited Colorado Springs’ minor league team, the Rocky Mountain Vibes, for a rousing game of baseball, then you’re all in for a real treat.

The unique venue offers meeting and event space for corporate gatherings, including the Banquet Hall, Stillhouse at the Stadium, Picnic Terrace, Hot Tub Heaven’s Famous Hot Tub, Luxury Suites, and more.

Elitch Gardens Theme & Water Park


What could be more fun than racing down the most thrilling water park slides in Denver? How about thrill rides like a Boomerang roller coaster, Brain Drain 7-story thrill ride, Half Pipe, Sling Shot, and the Tower of Doom for starters? You’ll find all that and more at Elitch Gardens Theme & Water Park. Follow up the thrills with a catered picnic in their private covered pavilion.

Right on Target

Combine the great outdoors with hunting and shooting, and you’ll be right on target for a great group event.
