Corporate Activities in Sydney

Getting past the traditional lunches and dinners corporates in Sydney are looking for alternative activities for their teams now. In keeping with this demand especially designed and managed events are on the rise. For team building, rewards, recognition and general outings diverse activities can now be organized.

Here are a few ideas:

Indoor Events: Sometimes conducting a refreshing session inside the office premises or at other indoor locations too can help the companies. Ice breakers are typically incorporated to warm up the teams before more fun and exciting games.

Cooking championships are a way to create sumptuous dishes while bonding over who comes up with a culinary delight. Appropriate locations for experiences can be arranged for professionally based on the cuisine, team size etc.

Sydney’s escape puzzle room are another indoor real-life experiences imitating the video games. With time bound challenges these see the participants locked in a physical room. Together they have to solve puzzles and mysteries. A variety of themes make it interesting — science fiction, crime scenes, time travel. Teams could even book similar rooms and schedule the same start time to see who wins the race.

Using themes from popular TV games shows, professionals conduct activities like Wheel of Fortune, Minute to Win It, Survey Says — these interactive games are great for fun times and promoting team spirit.

Outdoor Events: The city and its surroundings are replete with landmarks and scenic locations. For planning a day out any of these like the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Olympic Park, Luna Park, beaches or Kiama could be a great idea.

Beach games like sand sculpting, treasure hunt, surfing, beach volleyball, cricket and beach ball race can be enjoyed by the groups. Competitive or just for fun these are really happening especially on the northern beaches.

Adventure Activities: The harbour presents a great opportunity for kayaking. These paddling experiences are for beginners as well as advanced level participants. Professional guides lead them past the bays, national parks and harbour.

Mountain biking tours around the Blue Mountains and Manly are popular ways to enjoy spectacular sightseeing.

Hunter Valley, a premier wine destination is an adventure option to visit the best boutique wineries. Beautiful views add to the wine tasting experience.

Walking and Hiking tours for a day involves the corporate group to walk through waterfalls, gorges or other scenery.

Christmas Events: Going beyond the dinner and drinks, Christmas work parties can keep the entertainment levels high. Together the group can relish games night, costumes, making cocktails, art works, singing carols to creating Xmas gifts.

Social Responsibility: Corporate Social Responsibility activities see different teams competing in races or other challenges. These are generally fund raising events that are fun, creative and team building. The achievement is immense when the raised funds go to charities for a noble cause.

Customized Solutions: In accordance with the number of team members, time available in hand, budget and areas of interest tailor made programs can be designed for memorable times.
