Anderson Vacations’ team
building programs are unique, challenging, fun
and keep everyone involved. We can combine a selection
of activities to create one-half day or whole
day event. These activities can of course be extended
to incorporate as many one-half or whole days
as desired. And, we can divide your group into
any number of teams that will spend the day competing
in, enjoying, and learning from an assortment
of events and challenges.
Many of our activities can be completed in as
little as 15 minutes, making them perfect for
breakout sessions, though most of our exercises
are somewhat longer. Groups can often complete
3 - 4 of our individual events within an hour
to an hour and a half, and can comfortably complete
5 of our events within a three hour time frame.
All of our activities are easily adaptable to
group size and many can be conducted either indoors
or outdoors.
Pricing will vary depending on the number
of individuals participating in an event, on the
length of the event, and on the particular team
building event selected. Ask our expert event
planners for an exact price based on your group
and your specific choice of programs.
Here is another exciting idea as to how to spend
one-half day with your team.
For the programs listed below you don’t
need to be an athlete, as long as you can walk
or garden you can participate in these activities.
Your day will begin with ground based activities
from our Simply Serious Fun Program which can
be designed to be as active or inactive as you
would like them to be. For this program we illustrate
key personal and group/team skills required working
in a group and/or as a team and focusing on fun
and awareness of how people interact in the workplace.
After we serve you a fabulous lunch we then get
you prepared for your afternoon session which
is on the Kananaskis River, serve you a fabulous
lunch and then shuttle you to the River to commence
the afternoon portion of this program. For the
Rafting and Pegging portion the objective of this
activity is to set out and collect pegs at designated
places along the river with the main facilitator
serving as the overall project consultant.
Our active learning programs provide powerful
and lasting benefits:
- Increased awareness and appreciation of individual
strengths & weaknesses
- Increased ability to overcome barriers/obstacles
to achieve targets
- Ability to develop creative, cooperative and
"out of the box" mindset through risk
taking
- Producing high performance work teams that
get results once programs are completed
- Experience a more collaborative approach to
thinking creatively
- Tap into unrealized potential
- Develop confidence and courage
- Reveal unique contributions and strengths
We use this program to illustrate key personal
and team skills required for working effectively
in a group and/or as a team. The focus is on having
fun and being aware of how people interact. The
group will participate in activities such as those
outlined below (please note these are samples
and will vary depending on your group’s
unique requirements). The activities are completed
at various locations along the river banks while
rafting.
- groups are tasked with tossing tennis balls
through a specific pattern. Then they are challenged
to toss other objects and/or to toss the objects
in a reverse pattern.
- this exercise has participants form a circle,
and pass an object around the circle in the best
time possible ... the group is then challenged
to beat a specified time accepted by the group.
- this activity uses a “play parachute”
that serves as an organizational metaphor to demonstrate
the “network connections” among the
group members (further explanation given at the
site). The group is given several problems associated
with the parachute.
- participants are split into groups and tasked
with the movement of a set of balls from one place
to another in the fastest time possible in full
view of the other groups.
- participants are split into pairs and given
the task, while facing several problems, to maneuver
through this unique course.
As mentioned, these are samples of the types
of activities groups may be given to complete.
We have the option of utilizing a broad range
of activities that are best suited to your particular
group and what you want to accomplish.
The full day program runs similar to the rafting/pegging
program (above). The group will complete ground
based activities in the morning, have lunch and
then participate in the rafting activities in
the afternoon.

our knowledgeable staff today to discuss designing
your group’s unique Team Building Program.
Remember to ask
the Anderson Vacations’
staff to help you design and build the perfect
program for you. In the past we've developed programs
as varied as overnight road rally events, western
themed and sports themed game events, orienteering
courses, in fact, all of the programs listed above
were at one time unique events in their own right.
You can also combine a team building event with
a keynote presentation to build additional employee
value into your event. Or you can include guided
hikes, walks, snowshoe trips, slide presentations,
and sightseeing tours to create a complete Rocky
Mountain package.
Our competent,
knowledgeable, and experienced guides and facilitators
are the foundation of our programs. They come
from many different backgrounds, but choose to
make the mountains their home because of their
love of nature and the outdoors. They share a
passion for the wilderness, wildlife and history
of the region and they are eager to share that
experience and knowledge with you!
Your custom designed program can be delivered
at any time of the year. Our network of Guides/Facilitators
is available to offer programs in a broad range
of locations. No matter the location, we are committed
to designing and delivering a program that combines
the best of people, place and product.
