Planning an effective and inspiring Iowa team building event isn’t as easy as waving pompoms at a high school football game. As the planner, you are tasked with the challenge of not only figuring out what will inspire, build trust, and encourage your group to work together, but also choosing the perfect place that reflects your corporate culture … and meets your budget. Let meetingpages help with these 5 ideas that can effectively fire up the troops and ignite just this.
From scavenger hunts to boating tours to amusement parks, sailing away on a private cruise, or spending the day thrill-seeking can-do wonders for building comradery and boosting morale amongst your team.
As famous as the park itself, the Queen II is as famous as Arnold’s Park, from which it cruises on West Lake Okoboji. After a relaxing excursion across the lake on the steam wheeler, guests thrill to the park’s 25 rides, including the Legend Roller Coaster, the 7th oldest coaster in the US and 13th oldest in the world. Games of chance, water war, and food and beverages make a day spent here a one-of-a-kind experience.
Jon Anderson White Riverboat embarks from the docks of Rathbun Lake Marina. The classic riverboat is beautifully designed in the style of the Golden Era of river travel and features modern amenities as well. Elegant dining cruises, spacious decks, and live entertainment make for smooth sailing every time.
Get the team in gear at Pole Position Raceway Indoor Karting IA, Des Moines. The adrenaline pumping go kart racing experience offers your team three group racing formats. Wind down afterwards in private event space that offers catering options and many amenities. This isn’t an arcade game and it’s certainly not the highway at rush hour either, but the real thing, revved up to meet your goals.
Prefer to boost morale on the “greens”? Then let the games begin — tee up a best ball scramble golf tournament at one of Iowa’s premiere casino golf resorts including Grand Falls Casino & Golf Resort, located in Northwest, Iowa or Riverside Casino & Golf Resort, located in East Central, Iowa. Or ace the course in mini golf at A.H. Blank Mini Golf Course centrally located in Des Moines, Iowa. All skill levels are welcome in these fun adventures outside the office.
Private hunting and clay shooting foster exciting competition between co-workers. Combined with great food, comfortable lodging, and a rustic atmosphere, your team will long remember this type of outing.
Known for the best pheasant hunting in Iowa, Hole N’ The Wall Lodge invites your group to enjoy a classic-looking hunting lodge ambiance in a state-of-the-art, high-tech facility. With overnight lodging for up to 16, private bath accommodations, conversation pit area, fully equipped commercial kitchen, dining room, and game room, you’ll have all you need for the perfect team get-away.
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.
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 at Principal Park. Take your team to the ballgame at Iowa Cubs, the Minor League Baseball team of the International League and the Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs. Get a great group rate and watch the Iowa Cubs in their 20th season. Be sure to take plenty of photos at the field with your group as a special way to remember your day.
