Corporate Teambuilding Programs
These activities are intended for our
Corporate clientele. Each program can be tailored specifically to meet the
goals and objectives for each group and can be modified to accommodate the
skills and abilities of the participants.
Corporate Scavenger Hunt
Do you have a problem with communication
between departments? If you are facing the “specialization crisis”, we can
help. Through a study of your company’s physical and organizational
structure, we will create a unique scavenger hunt within your corporate
facilities, designed to promote awareness between employees and departments.
This serves as a great training tool for your new employees and provides an
opportunity for leadership by long-term employees.

Structured TeambuildingWhile utilizing similar activities as those found in “Initiatives and Group Games” and “Portables”, a “Structured Teambuilding” program simulates a “real world” atmosphere. Tasks are assigned with deadlines, acceptable outcomes and quality expectations. Groups learn to work together, based on set time frames, focusing on teamwork as it relates to efficiency in systems. As a part of the “Structured Teambuilding” program, we encourage organizations to provide information about a current issue that they are facing. Our Facilitators will walk your staff through the problem, encouraging open communication and ultimately seeking an acceptable solution that can be implemented upon return to the workplace. |
Standard Teambuilding Programs
While these activities are called “Standard
Teambuilding Programs”, that does not mean they are ordinary! These programs
are the basis for our teambuilding outreach and have been used successfully
for over 20 years by groups ranging from schools to corporations. These
programs improve performance, enhance communication, develop leadership skills
and promote teamwork.
Assembly Challenge
Tired of your typical scavenger hunts? Do you
want your group to value the differences in perspective that their teammates
can provide? Then you need to experience the “Assembly Challenge”! We begin
by having your group fill out a simple questionnaire and then tailor the
program to meet their individual skills and needs. Puzzles and challenges are
specifically arranged to provide the appropriate level of challenge as you
race through our property on a quest to find and assemble a very special
item.
Climbing Towers and Trips
Learn new skills as you and your team rise to
meet new challenges (literally). From indoor climbing gyms to outdoor
rock faces, we will find the program that meets the physical, emotional and
intellectual needs of your group. We will contract with a climbing
facility or guide in your area to provide the activities, with our staff
leading Facilitation and Debrief during the program.
Community Treasure Hunts
Are you looking for a unique challenge? Want
to draw from your limitless wealth of trivia and facts? Want an excuse to get
out and explore your city on foot? Then let the Rabbit Hat Productions create
a Treasure Hunt just for you! With activities and clues specifically tailored
to your organization and employees, we will provide a game that will provide
not only a thorough knowledge of your community’s trivia, but also a chance to
enjoy all that your city has to offer.
High Ropes Courses
Take your adventure program to new heights by
challenging a High Ropes Course. With obstacles ranging from 15 - 50
feet in the air, you and your teammates will discover a new level of
cooperation and trust as you learn to overcome your perceived limitations.
We will contract with an area Ropes Course near you to provide the activities,
with our staff leading Facilitation and Debriefing during the program.
Initiatives and Group Challenges
Structured to meet the needs of groups that
prefer less physical challenge but would still like to participate in
teambuilding, this program offers obstacles that require more mind than
muscle. Groups work through a series of teambuilding games and puzzles. This
isn’t to say that the activities are easily accomplished; this program can
offer the same level of challenges and promote the same positive outcomes as
that of its companion, “Portables”.
Low Ropes Course
Take your team outside for a fun, educational
experience. Low Ropes Courses offer challenges that are unique and tend
to be more physically demanding than Initiatives. With different combinations of
activities, your group can come back each year and never have the same
experience twice! We will contract with an area Ropes Course near you to
provide the activities, with our staff leading Facilitation and Debriefing during
the program.
Mystery Weekends
Tired of the common conference weekend?
Looking for more than a motivational speaker to enhance your organizational
retreats? Then let the Rabbit Hat Productions create a customized crime for
you! With activities ranging from detective mysteries to “locked room”
puzzles, we guarantee to keep your staff guessing as you work as a team to
solve the mystery before the end of the weekend. Costumes and props for your
staff are available for an extra fee. Make your next meeting a truly
memorable experience!
OrienteeringIt has been said that the only constant in
life is change. If your group is looking to find their direction, why not
look in our direction! From programs incorporating basic compass skills to
advanced orienteering techniques, we can help your group follow the path
successfully to their goal. Our focus is on teamwork and developing
leadership skills, with activities carefully structured to accommodate all
ages and abilities. (“Initiatives and Group Games” and “Portables” are included as part of
this program.)

Portable Teambuilding
Do you want to work on more physically
challenging obstacles but don't have a Ropes Course in your area? Then
let the Rabbit Hat Productions bring the program to you! A Portable
Program, similar to the “Initiatives and Group Challenges” programs, is designed
to be brought to your organization or even to a nearby park. We provide all
of the staff, materials and obstacles necessary for your group to grow into an
efficient team.
River Canoe Trip
Although most people do not realize it,
canoeing is very much a team sport. We begin by teaching the basics of
canoeing and water safety. After that, we climb into our canoes to retrace
the route of the Voyageurs! With options for a picnic lunch and/or an
overnight campout along the river, your group is sure to have a fun and
memorable trip. This is a great activity by itself or can be combined with
“Survival Simulation” for an added challenge! (“Initiatives and Group
Games”
and “Portables” are included as part of this program.)
Sensory-Based Experiences
Get in touch with your self and with nature
through our sensory-based teambuilding programs. From activities like
“Hug-A-Tree” which encourages a tactile approach to environmental studies to
predator-prey simulations, this program can provide a very memorable
experience for our younger program participants! Schools should book early,
as there is limited space available for this program. (“Initiatives and
Group Games” and
“Portables” are included as part of this program.)
Survival Simulation
Have you ever wondered how to survive if you
were stranded in the wilderness? Let the Rabbit Hat Productions help you find
out! We can create a half-day to three-day Survival Simulation with as much
realism as you desire. Our trained, professional staff can provide
instruction in basic survival techniques from finding and purifying water to
shelter building, edible plants to first aid techniques and much more! (“Initiatives
and Group Games” and “Portables” are included as part of this program.)
Volunteer Service Corps
Do you want to make a difference in your
community, whether on a local or a global scale? Then let the Rabbit Hat
Productions help you find a place to start. From turning vacant lots into
parks in your own town to building houses for the homeless in another country,
we can find the place where your volunteers can help meet the needs of people
from around the world or right next door. All projects are geared for your
organization’s abilities and resources. Come join us and help to change one
corner of our world!
Waterfront Teambuilding
Get your swimsuits on and let’s play! With a
series of special challenges from raft-building, river racing, group
challenges and much more, this is an exciting and relaxing way to build team
spirit, encourage communication and have some plain, old-fashioned fun!
Certified lifeguards supervise all activities. Spring, Summer and Fall
seasons only, weather permitting.

Wilderness TripsDesigned to promote teambuilding skills and to
provide an exciting corporate retreat, these trips can provide all of the
adventure and team spirit that you are looking for! Trips include
backpacking, rock climbing, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, spelunking
and more! Groups can choose to do shorter local trips (whitewater
canoeing on the Flambeau) to week-long journeys to West Virginia or Florida.
We are willing to coordinate a specialized program to meet your group’s
specific needs.

Youth-Specific Teambuilding Programs
Looking for programs specifically for youth?
The Rabbit Hat Productions has specialized programs for all ages and
abilities. Whether your group chooses to come to our facility or our
programming is done on-site, it is our goal to provide life-changing
experiences for local area youth.
At-Risk and Adjudicated Youth Programs
As part of our outreach, the Rabbit Hat
Productions is proud to announce a new program specifically designed to reach
out to the youth that are classified as “At-Risk”. Through a series of
half-day to full-day programs, each designed to reinforce the concepts of
positive peer interactions, self-esteem building, teamwork, enhanced
interpersonal communication and leadership development, youth begin to grow in
an environment that fosters acceptance and motivation toward positive change.
Physical Education Teams ProgramThe Rabbit Hat Productions is pleased to
announce an exciting opportunity for local area schools. Through a
partnership program, we can offer classes in teambuilding to the youth in our
communities at our facility and/or at your school. These classes teach youth
of all ages the basic skills necessary for effective communication, positive
peer pressure, conflict resolution and leadership development.
