Team Building Activities in Banff National Park

In this exhilarating fun and outdoor team building exercise, your corporate or incentive group will be separated into teams competing against each other to see who has the survival skills that would be fit enough for the fur trappers of yesteryear. Starting with the distribution of team “toques” and the complexity of donning a pair of snowshoes, each team will have to use physical and mental strength to complete a series of challenges.

As guests venture into the wilds, they will be tasked with searching for their survival kits, strategizing with each other as to what 5 items are essential. From there, the competition becomes more demanding and back to the basics ~ fire, shelter and food. Just like in the corporate world, this team building exercise for staff builds cooperation required in the workplace to ensure victory. Of course, a little distraction, like a snowball fight can make this event fun for your participants, especially if this is their first time experiencing the world of snow!

Welcome to the Hudson Bay Company, well almost. Before you can join officially with the Hudson's Bay Company next season (winter of 1842), you will have to prove to us your survival skills. Here at the HBC we only hire the most rugged and skilled people to trap animals for their furs, and we need to! The winters in the Banff area can be harsh. Imagine -51 degrees Celsius without the wind chill, ten meters of snow, and rugged terrain that you could easily get lost in, but that is all part of the job. Today we will find out if you have the necessary skills just to survive out here in the wild. Its no easy city life out here no new fangled luxury, no one to take care of you...just you and the wilderness. So let’s get out into the wild and put you wildness survival skills to the test!
