Team building in the woods

“Not another dumb company team building game!” said no one when they heard we’re gonna play paintball, laser tag, and stroll down the zip line.

We really enjoyed the adrenalin rush and it helped the team learn about each other — how each person thinks, works, solves problems, and has fun.

Paintball and laser tag are games where strength and speed are not nearly as important as strategy and communication. It was creative, fun and it was a chance to let loose, try something new, and to see co-workers and employees in a new light.

There was no limit to the skill set of those in attendance; from procurement to engineering, safety, and even management to those with formal military experience. This experience, however, was not enough to topple a series of planned games by the paintball organizers. Games included Win the Fort, Capture the Flag; all team dependent but, some persons were more targeted than others. Regardless, it was certainly a fun and successful team event, where some walked away with more battle wounds than others.

After all of these activities, the evening transitioned into fun and laughs bringing a great conclusion to our team-building activity.
