Team Building

A Spark4 Denver Team Building event is a group experience that requires thoughtful consideration, team collaboration, and action focused on a unique strategic initiative. With that also comes a healthy dose of FUN(!) and friendly competition. 

When teams are truly engaged, these collaborative experiences translate to higher levels of trust, communication, and appreciation among colleagues. This sets the foundation for a successful, energized workplace with increased levels of personal satisfaction and belonging.

We help you to define your own meaning of team building and create activities and options that are on point with that, ranging from creative indoor exercises to immersive outdoor adventures.

Check out some of our most frequently requested programs:

Geo Game Trek – An intelligent twist on the traditional scavenger hunt using GPS units, printed maps and written clues. Teams will be getting out to see the sites while solving unusual projects, challenging riddles and local trivia. Each team will devise a strategy that suits the needs and preferences of their group, scores the most points, and outsmarts the other teams. The walking pace and route is determined internally as there are many ways to accomplish the objectives.

Colorado Checkpoint – Groups will track their way to interesting locations curated by Spark4. Upon arrival, teams will be greeted by our staff and presented with unique problem solving initiatives that require planning, creative thinking, and collaboration. The challenge stops will be a blend of cerebral, physical and creative tasks tailored to the location, your team building objectives and the company’s vibe.

Talented Team –  Using  problem-solving initiatives and dialog driven games, this session is designed to enhance trust, communication, and leadership within the group. Pairs, small groups, and teams are in motion throughout the activities as you play through and solve unusual initiatives. At key points our facilitators open up discussions and unlock group wisdom exploring how we can best work together as a team and community. 

Insightful Team – A variety of custom created sessions intended to inspire individuals and team insights via work-personality assessment and adaptive workshops. Through our customized activities we create a level playing field for all – regardless of role or tenure – to emphasize personal connection, improve communication, create group understanding, and analyze team performance.

Leadership Launch – Each individual will craft a simple but meaningful “rocket” inspired by a facilitated discussion around accountability. Colleagues will take a new approach to solving a real business problem pledging their personal actions for creating change. Perhaps the most inspiring – and certainly the most entertaining part – is when we head outside to share our ideas and promises and launch the rockets into “space”.

Radio Active – Using secret 2-way radio channels and an unusual cache of resources, teams will navigate a labyrinth of information testing your group’s ability to listen to others and express themselves effectively. This strategic group adventure will test your team’s ability to stay connected and collaborate even when faced with competing priorities and a ticking clock.

The Exchange Games – Give colleagues an interactive incentive to connect at your next meeting or conference. Spark4 sets up a series of  challenge stations around the town or on the hotel grounds. Teams will have a specific route and map by which to follow. After completing each game, our staff will introduce a theme related question for individuals to reflect on and respond to before moving on to the next stop.

Lift Off – A custom themed design-and-build challenge integrating collaborative engineering, public speaking, brand awareness, and exhibition components. Commitment and competition are at their peak when teammates step up to the front of the room give their (often funny) presentation and attempt to give flight to their craft.
