Ace Race® Golf Team Building Workshop
Make any meeting fun and competitive!
Have an absolute BLAST on your next team building adventure! The Ace Race is a fun team activity where team members build a golf course out of non-perishable food items.
This philanthropic team building event organizes your team into small groups of four to six people, and each group acquires “materials” to build a single hole of a custom golf course right in the banquet hall or meeting room. The “materials” that they acquire are non-perishable food items that they must use to build their hole of the course. Once the custom golf course is built, the teams compete against each other to determine the golf champion of your event.
Build Your Team While Building Your Community
The Ace Race Twist
There is a twist however… Most teams will create unbelievably difficult holes that are practically impossible to conquer, so the Ace Race doesn’t just have them compete to conquer the course. Each team plays each hole until they get an “Ace” (hole in one). This difficulty moves the challenge from being a competition to a team building exercise pretty quickly. And adds a LOT of laughter in the process.
Sample Workshop Outline
- Introduction: A fast explanation of the rules and goals for the event.
- Earn the Materials: Each team solves puzzles and challenges to earn their course materials. The faster they solve the challenges, the more time they have to build their hole and practice.
- Build the Course: Each team builds a single hole within the course.
- The Ace Race: Teams compete to race through the course getting holes-in-one, and the energy erupts! A champion is crowned.
- Donation of the Food to a Food Bank: Each group re-boxes up their food items, and we donate them to a charity.
The Ace Race offers fantastic team building, community outreach, and great PR.

Rescue Bear® Workshop
Serve Our Rescue Workers While They Serve Us!
Want your team to learn about each other while supporting your local police and firefighters? Want a unique and memorable experience?
Our rescue workers have a difficult job — especially when children are affected. At times, they have to tell people that they have just lost everything they own in a fire or sometimes have to separate a child from his or her parent while they receive medical attention. The Rescue Bear team event provides a comfort item that these fearless rescue workers can give to these children in need to help them through a very challenging time.
Discover the Strengths of Each Team Member
Strong Teams Based on Diversity
The activities in this event are actually based on personality temperaments, but your group will never know. We have developed a revolutionary, proprietary activity that gets the team to quickly (and in a hilarious way) divide themselves into personality temperament groups. If you are a fan of Myers-Briggs or the DISC profile, you will love this, because it is a practical way for participants to learn about their strengths and weaknesses based on their temperaments without the technical lecture. Once your team is divided by temperament, each group accomplishes challenges specifically designed to match the strengths of the participants.
Sample Outline and Options
- Introduction: A fast explanation of the rules and goals for the event.
- Dividing Group into Temperaments: The group plays a fun game that to organize team into temperaments.
- Strength Finder: Group discovers the real strengths of their team.
- Rescue Bear: Participants complete challenges based on strengths to earn materials to build the toys.
- *Presentation of Toys to Fire Fighters: Local firefighters come to speak to the group and accept the toys on behalf of the kids who will eventually get them.
*PS: The firefighters often arrive in their ladder-truck

Camaraderie Quest™
Team Treasure Hunt
Looking for the perfect outdoor team event? Want to let your team interact away from the office or meeting? Then the Camaraderie Quest is for you.
The Camaraderie Quest is an interactive treasure hunt that is custom designed for your group and location, so no two quests are the same. Your team will have to decipher clues that lead them on a trek to find items, photograph interesting places, and video record their team accomplishing their specific tasks. At the end of the quest, the instructor scores the results and shows an edited slideshow complete with quite a few of the most entertaining team accomplishments.
Get the Most From Your Location
Although this even can be held just about anywhere, the more interesting the location, the more interesting the quest will be. Downtown areas, historic districts, and many resort areas tend to be fantastic places to schedule a quest because there is often a lot of interesting things to find and photograph.
When event and meeting planners organize annual meetings or conventions, they often pick fantastic locations. Alas, though, because time is compressed f or these meetings, the participants rarely get to explore these resorts on the way to the next meeting. This is where The Camaraderie Quest can be a big help. The Quest gives participants a chance explore their great location, but also experience a fantastic team building activity at the same time.
Sample Outline and Options
- Introduction: A fast explanation of the rules and goals for the event. (Works best if this is indoors.)
- Initial Short Quest: Teams are sent on an initial quest so that they can learn how to complete the challenges and score a few initial points.
- Midpoint Break: We take a short break midway through to answer questions and get the teams rehydrated.
- Final Quest: Teams move through the final quest where they will take pictures and record videos of their accomplishments.
- *The Slideshow: The facilitator scores the results and delivers a f unny slideshow complete with some of themore entertaining pictures and videos.
*For bigger groups, it’s a good idea to schedule a break between the Final Quest and The Slideshow so that the instructor will have time to create a good slideshow.
