Corporate Event Ideas for This Spring

With the spring finally here, Michiganders are more excited than ever to get outdoors and spend some time in the sun. After all, we’ve definitely earned it after this last winter. That said, some employees seeing at this beautiful weather may feel a little cooped up at their desk. That’s why now is the perfect time for a corporate retreat!

Today, we’re discussing a few fun springtime corporate events to bring all of your employees closer together.

Get Outside for a Field Day

A simple and affordable way to let everyone enjoy this beautiful weather is with a field day. A field day is a low-commitment way to boost morale while promoting exercise. Field days are also great thanks to their variety, since you can host several games like:

  • Tug of War
  • Sack Races
  • Disc Golf
  • Cornhole
  • Egg-and-Spoon Races

All in all, field days are a great way to get outdoors, increase morale, and have a blast on a budget.

Host a Scavenger Hunt

A great way to foster teamwork is with an outdoor scavenger hunt! By splitting your employees up into teams and setting them loose, you can help create cohesion between employees while getting some sunlight. We recommend giving each team hints or puzzles to solve—that way, they can explore ideas along with the environment. Scavenger hunts are also a great way to help employees learn more about local hotspots to hang out and socialize after work!

Outdoor Workshops and Classes

If you want your employees to gain practical skills while having fun, then you may want to consider an outdoor workshop or class. Here are some great options your employees are sure to love:

Camping & Survival. Nothing says “outdoors” like getting back to the basics of camping and survival. Hire a professional to teach your employees how to do useful, fun skills such as foraging, fire-starting, and wilderness medicine. Then if you ever want to do a camping retreat, everyone will be prepared!

Outdoor Photography. In the era of smartphones, this is a fantastic practical skill that also encourages employees to get outdoors. An outdoor photography class will give all of your employees a skill that they can use every day and even in the office!

Astronomy. A practical astronomy class is a great way to bring your employees together for a thoughtful, reflective experience.
