Team Building Challenges on the Grand River

Our corporate team building programs allow everyone to play regardless of size, age or skill.

The team challenges are based on imagination… with the idea of having fun together.

We use two different setting for our corporate adventures… rafts where you can experience everything together… or a land-based survival cook-off challenge.

Grand River Rafting hosts over 40,000 people yearly… the company is ranked in the top 2% out of 1,700 outdoor adventures in Ontario.

If wanted…  we have caterers that can supply tripper lunches or shoreline barbeques before or after your team event.

Corporate team challenge cook-off survival with Grand River Rafting

Corporate Team Survival Cook-Off

Survival Description:

This adventure starts with a 1 km guided walk learning wild edible plants and trees along the way. We arrive at the challenge area… try the fresh water springs… and then the contest begins.

  1. Each team is given a selection of wild edible plants, cooking utensils, a bag of rice and a trout.
  2. On the word “go”… each team has to build a fire, prepare the edibles, and cook the rice.
  3. Then they have to “gut” the trout and stuff it with the rice and wild edibles to do a “Master Chef” cook-off.
  4. After a set time… the judging guides evaluate each team based on food presentation, taste and efficiency of teamwork.
  5. Winner is announced… and then the teams devour their efforts!

Start Time: With this corporate quest, choose your own start time. Normally takes 2-2.5 hours

Price Includes:

  • Interpretive Hiking Guide
