Team Building that Works
Team building is a great idea and, if facilitated professionally, will accomplish the primary goal most leaders are looking for; to get results.
Watch your team members have ah ha moments as they hold up the mirror, so to speak. Watch as they have their experiences and the implications of the activities, relate back to the workplace.
There is nothing quite like a unique shared experience to help individuals & teams develop stronger bonds, useful communication strategies & long-lasting teamwork skills.
- Fun, Unique Experiences.

Red Lodge Ropes Course offers a number of team bonding and team building programs and has, in addition, one of the most extensive high ropes courses, including ground team-building elements, in the Calgary & Red Deer areas.
“Fun, fulfilling and challenging day of team building with excellent facilitation connecting our shared learning experiences back to the workplace.”
~ NOVA Chemicals – Red Deer, AB
“Our team thoroughly enjoyed our Red Lodge Ropes Course experience.
My highlight, as a coach, was observing players as they become closer throughout the day and identifying how their different personalities communicated & interacted. By the end of the day, I had a clear picture of the dynamics and makeup of our team. I was able to see the team bond before my eyes. This gave us a strong foundation for the rest of the season.”
~Brandin Cote, Asst Coach Swift Current Broncos
(former Canadian professional ice hockey center)

Team bonding vs team building vs team development – There is a difference
The confusion between team bonding and team building
Team bonding or team building; what does that mean exactly? When potential clients come to us, they always say they are looking for a “team building program”. However, they often don’t know what they don’t know. To ensure we meet the needs of our clients, we begin all conversations with a Discovery Assessment. This assessment allows us to uncover what challenges they are facing and what outcomes they are looking for.
We categorize “team building” programs into three buckets:
1st level – Team Bonding
2nd level – Team Building
3 rd level – Team Development
While each bucket serves a specific and very useful purpose, it’s important to know what each program is best suited for.
Team Bonding
is ideal if your team is looking for a recreational, fun, ‘get of the office’ type of social activity.
- Meant for teams looking to simply have a good time getting to know one another outside the office environment.
- Not focused towards a specific end goal, although it may follow a specific schedule.
- Usually no facilitation or debrief; and
- Works as a stand-alone event.
Team Building
offers your team much more value, with the opportunity for an experience of ongoing learning, as a result of custom activity selection, expert facilitation, participant reflection and real-life takeaways.
- Program is designed specifically for the team’s unique needs with an aim to achieve a specific goal or outcome. Activity selection & sequencing is customized.
- Participant learning and takeaways are directly transferable back to the workplace.
- Designed and facilitated by a facilitator trained in experiential learning facilitation.
- Includes built-in reflection time and debrief where participants reflect on their experience and relate those experiences back to real work situations; and
- May or may not include follow-up activities or programming.
is an ongoing, results-driven training series that focuses on both long-term behavior change and improving overall team performance.
- Designed to accommodate long-term, targeted organizational goals.
- Includes proven & science-based Team Excellence Training modules, backed by data and metrics.
- Modules are scheduled over the span of at least six months and includes coaching for team members and leaders.
- Facilitation is by an Advanced Certified Facilitator who works closely with the leadership team to ensure team transformation success; and
- Includes a tracking system to show you gains in key areas of your business.
Give us a call as we can help you with all three of these team programs.
We utilize our privately owned ropes course at Red Lodge Ropes Course for those adventurous enough to want an outdoor event or we can come to a venue of your choice to work with your team.
