Gang Up — Best Colorado Team Building Tasks

Sometimes, typical team building tasks can feel like lame summer camp activities for 12-year-olds. If you’re looking for something really engaging that will bring your team together, improve communication, foster problem-solving skills, and build trust, try something different--and dare we say it? – fun!

A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats

From ziplining to boating tours to white water rafting, sailing away on an exciting adventure can do wonders for building comradery and boosting morale amongst your team.

Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo offer a one-of-a-kind experience with narrated historical tours on the Pueblo River, serene Gondola rides, or exciting pedal boats on Lake Elizabeth.  Several venues are located along the lovely Riverwalk and offer private boat rental and pedal boats, along with many tempting local eateries along the way.

Epic adventures await your crew at Castle Rock Zip Line Tours. Featuring ten thrilling and exciting zip lines that fly over one and a half miles, your team will speed along at 50 mph on some of the state’s longest and fastest cables. Wildly popular, Castle Rock is listed as one of Denver’s top ten things to do. The day ends with the fiercely competitive 1500’ dual line race. Who’s the fastest on your team?

Royal Gorge Rafting + Zip Line Tours combine the best of adventures with challenging rafting through the Royal Gorge or the more family friendly Bighorn Sheep Canyon. Amazing scenery awaits on half-day or full-day trips. The Zip Line tour traverses over a mile of cable on nine lines, with the last line offering you the chance for dual racing.

Horsing Around

There’s nothing quite like a ranch to inspire teamwork. Combined with great food, comfortable accommodations, and a rustic atmosphere, your team will long remember this type of outing.

C Lazy U Ranch presents your group with the opportunity to experience a real ranch, learning skills that only cowboys know, such as how to throw a lariat and herd and move cattle. Other team-building activities include horsemanship classes, ropes course, zip line, amazing races, and roping. Spacious comfortable rooms, gourmet dining, and on-site spa for sore muscles completes the package.

Built in 1938, Devil’s Thumb Ranch Resort + Spa is located at the foot of the Continental Divide. There’s no end to the opportunities for your team to get out and play, with horseback riding, zip line tours, hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing, and more.  A vast menu of dining options are perfect for hearty appetites, while accommodations range from lodges to cabins, a bunkhouse to an inn. The relaxing spa is the perfect way to end the day, rest and rejuvenate.

Mix Business with Pleasure

Team building can be about healthy competition, working together to achieve a goal, or just sharing a fun experience as a group.

With cave tours, thrill rides, a cliff hanger roller coaster, Iron Mountain Tramway, Giant Canyon Swing, zip ride, climbing wall, and 4D motion theater, the fun never ends. Dining options range from snacks and light fare to full banquet or party menus.

A Homerun Hit Every Time

Nothing says, “we appreciate you” like a day spent at the ball game. Hot dogs, peanuts, and ice-cold drinks just naturally go great with the boys of summer hitting one out of the park.

It’s a whole new ballgame with the Security Service Field / Colorado Springs Sky Sox. Luxury suites are available to groups and include fully furnished box with open air balcony seating, catered meal, VIP parking, cable access, waiter and bartender service, and a personal kitchenette area.

Build morale, interdependence, and a true team spirit when you go beyond hot-dog eating contests or office trivia and try any (or all) of these team building ideas.
