Iowa Team Building — Is your team up for the challenge?

“We’ve got spirit, yes we do. We’ve got spirit, how ‘bout you?” Sure, corporate team building in Iowa isn’t as simple as waving around pompoms at a high school football game. So, when it comes to pulling your team together, inspiring one another, building trust and working together, you need to find some pretty effective ways to fire up the troops. What it requires is a challenge. Is your team up for it?

We can do it

Who hasn’t watched a WWII flick and thought to themselves, “That’s just like the office.” At CMP Tactical Lazer Tag it’s widely known that nothing builds a team like the battlefield. Located in Des Moines, Iowa, CMP offers a unique environment and experience. Here CMP allows your team to capture zones, communicate enemy positions, and think on the fly to defuse bombs. See? Just like the office.

Increase their drive

Get the team in gear at MB2 Raceway. The adrenaline pumping experience offers your team a wide range of go-kart racing options, including a blindfold challenge and a rolling relay.  Wind down afterwards in private event space that offers catering options and many amenities. This ain’t no arcade game and it’s sure not the highway at rush hour either, but the real thing, revved up to meet your goals.

Par for the course

For Iowa tournament level team building tee up at Planet X Fun Center. Pick from several packages that include mini golf, rock climbing, spaceball, jumpshot, bumper cars, laser tag and more.  Your crew will love the made-from-scratch New-York-style pizza, adult beverages and interactive game options, too.

Or, your group can get a grip on a wide range of activities at  Lost Island Waterpark. Choose from mini golf, water slides galore, arcade, billiards, go-karts, zip line and much more. Several on-site food options include a bar that serves adult beverages.  What a way to putter away an afternoon.

Get in the zone

If you’d like to get your crew in the teamwork zone, we’ve got just the place for you — Urbandale’s Incredible Buffet + Fun Center.  The professional event specialist will design a package that’s just right for you with the intent to build essential business elements such as team unity, talent and leadership recognition, conflict resolution, and team bonding. Challenges can incorporate mini golf, bumper cars, bowling, and go-karting. Plus, onsite pizza, tacos or dogs and a fresh salad bar offer the perfect reward for your winning team.

Casual Friday change up

Perhaps you should consider making dress code on casual Fridays include coveralls. That is if you’re interested in bringing your crew to Adventure Park Paintball. Many companies have found that paintball promotes team building, improves communication, strengthens camaraderie, and builds on skills such as decision making, strategizing and leadership. And, oh yes, it’s tons of fun too!

On the ropes

Trust, leadership, and confidence emerge when your team navigates their way along the rock climbing walls at Climb Iowa. Participants stimulate mind and muscle as they work together to conquer the wall, all the while focusing on communications, problem solving, and trust.   

Summer camp was never like this. Send your team to new heights with the ropes course at Teambuilding Blocks, LLC @ Four Mounds Inn, Conference Center and Ropes Course. The onsite Grey Mansion is available for post climbing wrap up, too.

Now we’re cooking

When it comes to Iowa team building, nothing says self-expression and collaboration like painting and drinking wine at Brush and Barrel. You choose the painting your group will re-create and with the guidance of our resident artist, you’ll each have created a masterpiece by the end of the session.  Painters can also choose from several libations available for purchase.

At Pinot’s Palette Des Moines, art is a motivator that helps your group discover their own style while giving an outlet to self-expression. Professional instruction and all supplies are provided; you bring any drinks or appetizers you wish your group to share.

Let your team soar

Take them sky high in Iowa with sky diving or professional ballooning available at several locations in Iowa.  From rope lines to zip lines, golf balls to paint balls and everything in between, any of these unique activities will challenge your team to rise to new heights.
