Corporate Team Building Activity

Team Building Group Exercise Game

River and Trail Outfitters currently runs Team-Building, Corporate Development, and Youth Development programs for many organizations within the Baltimore, Washington DC, Northern Virginia area. Programs are individually tailored to meet the specific outcomes required by the participating organizations and range in scope from low impact, on the ground activities, to more exhilarating challenges on our rock climbing wall and on the river with activities such as whitewater rafting. Half-day programs run four hours in length and full-day programs may go over eight hours depending upon the particular group's needs.

Typical outcomes demonstrate development of communication skills, personnel support techniques, work habits, and customer service. Often, clients are simply searching for ways to allow their crew to become more compatible with each other, which results in an overall increase in productivity. Whatever your specific goals for the program may be, participants have an opportunity to see each other in ways that help to foster the kinds of relationships that allow any organization to function at the highest level possible.
