A great option for corporate gift giving this year is to give the gift of corporate team building. These gifts are good for the person, company and team and can be fun and exciting as well as a great gift idea for the holidays. There are several options when planning a team building event, however the ones that can also be used as gifts are the most fun and adventurous.

Many companies are offering extreme sports as a way to do team building. For example, a company called Bay Adventures is an experienced company in assisting you in planning a successful corporate team-building event. They offer a variety of programs and can tailor them for your specific needs. The historic schooner Gas Light has day time programs aboard and is appropriate for people interested in hands on sailing. It is an interactive, learn-while-doing experience and the group is able to participate in all aspects of sailing the boat. This includes steering, navigating, handling lines, hoisting sails etc. Your company would be divided into teams on the dock hour before leaving and they would be taught how to handle the lines, man the foredeck and raise the sails.

Also, they will get a sense of history about the early San Francisco Bay and particularly the history of scow schooners. They talk about the life of a sailor and traditional navigation. Everyone gets a chance to participate while underway and it encourages a team atmosphere while having fun. Participants are then included in a Angel Island Barbeque that is prepared and waiting for them. This is just one example of a teambuilding even offered by Bay Adventures.

There are many other companies such as Global Events that organize indoor and outdoor training that can range from a couple of hours to an entire day. There are so many fun things that can be arranged and it is important if you are thinking about planning this type of event for your company, to explore all options to determine what type of even would be best for your company.

Another idea when planning to give the gift of corporate team building is to plan an event yourself. Some ideas for team building and fun could be a day at the golf course. You could enter a tournament or play Best Ball to encourage people to work together and have a great time. There are many options on the golf course for this type of even and you should contact your local golf course for details on corporate sponsored events.

A great way to encourage bonding and trust is to take your team rock climbing. There are many gyms that will assist you and your guests in this type of team building event while catering to the many different skill levels of the participants. Rock climbing is a way for people to work together and build trust. As one participant climbs, the other holds the rope that keeps them safe. There is usually another person acting as a spotter who will advise the climber on the best route or just be there in case of a slip. This type of team building activity is a great way for people to work together who may not have had the chance in the work place, or to get to know new people in the office. There are many different options and benefits to this type of exercise.

When you plan to give the gift of corporate team building, consider whether you want an adventure planned by someone else, or if you could plan it yourself. Look into the different options and ask about corporate events or special rates or discounts. You may be able to find a great deal as well as plan an event that everyone will love and that will encourage team building this season!
