According to Forbes, team building benefits include a range of perks like increased trust between team members and the ability to define and achieve shared goals.
Moreover, these group activities help your employees because they:
• Improve communication and problem-solving abilities
• Make employees feel valued
• Create new shared experiences that translate back to the office
• Build employees’ confidence and increase retention rates
Taking time away from office work by attending group activities will strengthen your business rather than hinder it. Employees can shake off the stress of the office and build valuable skills, all while making great memories and enjoying an activity in their city. This list of five team-building activities in Calgary should prepare you and your team for fun days coming forward.
Not everyone in your team will feel comfortable hanging off a rope secured in place by another colleague. But that is one of the reasons why rock climbing is a great and rewarding team-building opportunity. You and your team will discover that rock climbing fosters trust, communication and a shared sense of accomplishment.
The Calgary Climbing Centre has several branches across the city to choose from. They offer group climbing classes as well as specially curated corporate packages. The CCC even offers outdoor climbing options (weather permitting).

Kayaking, canoeing, or any other paddling activity in the Calgary area, is a great setting for team building. You can get away from the city landscape with most nearby options, or take a leisurely tour of a lake in Banff National Park. Even if some members of your team have experience with kayaking, paddling with your colleagues will be an excellent opportunity for getting to know each other and having fun in a non-traditional setting. This is a chance for employees to feel the joy of exploring nature together in a truly unique way. There are a number of places to book group paddling in Calgary and Banff so you are spoilt for choice. For example, within Calgary, the Calgary Canoe Club offers daytime group lessons on the Glenmore Reservoir. In Banff, you might consider booking a whitewater rafting experience if your team is comfortable with that!
