Welcome To Team Building
Ballrooms are lousy places to teach team building. Instead, use the natural charm of Arizona to bring your group together. Let the beautiful desert landscape work its magic on your group as we put them in a more relaxed, open state of mind. Surround your attendees with green parks and mountains and you’ll be amazed at the results. Every Destination Arizona Conference Planners-approved session teaches an important team principle, cleverly disguising it as fun in the Arizona sun. Most of these events can be staged in a number of places, making the Valley your playground. We can customize any of our popular events; so if you’re looking for something specific, just let us know.
Our Team Building Services Include:
Creative customization of events, based on your direction Transportation services (when required) Professional, uniformed coordinators to orchestrate entire event Uniformed referees (where applicable) Set up and tear down of all equipment and props Portable sound system for announcements and music (location permitting) First Aid station (when required) Location recommendations when events are not staged at your hotel Electrical supply (if required) Arrangements for disposal of building materials Refreshments and water.
Team Building Ideas
Chili Cook-off
Chili Cook-Off combines fun corporate icebreakers with a spicy cooking competition, designed to increase camaraderie within a group. To ensure a great experience, aspects of these team building activities may be modified for your group size, group makeup, time available, and other variables.
Build a Teepee
The group will be given all necessary equipment, instructions and tools to build a teepee. Once the team has an understanding of what is expected of them all verbal communication must stop. The teepee has to be built and each member of the group must paint a symbol on the canvas in complete silence. Teepees will be judged based on creativity, structure stability and total time elapsed

Hot Air Balloon Ride
As you gently leave the Earth, you'll be amazed at how light the balloon feels. During the flight you have unobstructed 360-degree views, allowing for breathtaking photographs. Your pilot will explore a variety of altitudes, up to 3,000 feet in the air for a marvelous overview of the valley, to just under 400 feet from the ground where you are able to see the sights and sounds of desert life. By changing altitude, your pilot may also be able to change direction by finding a shift in wind currents at another level.
Clue Scavenger Hunt
Teams will read through one clue at a time leading them to a destination on property, once at that destination they will receive an “anonymous” tip or CLUE from our eye-witness and informers. The team who returns to Sherlock Holmes first with the crime solved correctly receives a “cash” reward. The cash is chocolate gold coins and caramel bars of gold wrapped in a REWARD bag. A murder mystery that has your guests actually doing all the investigative work!
