Brainstorming Idea Board
One of the best activities for team building is a brainstorming idea board. This event is done by each person on the team writing down their ideas for the company on different colored sticky notes. Once everyone has their thoughts written down, they can stick them on a corkboard or whiteboard in the meeting room. After everyone has had a chance to put up their ideas, the team can start discussing which ones they think are the best and why.
Beyond that, promote a positive collaboration environment that doesn’t negatively punish rare or out-of-ordinary ideas. This is your group’s golden time to spitfire ideas with the potential to grant your team and business an innovative edge in the business world, all stemming from respect and a great “origin story.”
Scenery Hunts
Killington is beautiful; why not take advantage of your stellar corporate retreat spot with an active event to travel the town and work together? There are a plethora of landmarks that serve as cornerstones for clever themes in your team hunt.
Key Spots Include:
- The Vermont Country Store, Weston and Rockingham: From 1946, this restored rural country store provides the perfect rustic backdrop for your team members to visit for a fun-themed hint. There’s a lot to love from seeing this spot, whether it’s of historical or business-related relevance.
- Long Trail Brewing Company, Bridgewater: Inspired by the Hofbräu House in Munich, Germany, Long Trail Brewing’s Visitors Center is quite the place to be for exploring everything that Killington offers. Use this spot for a laid-back part of the hunt with great drinks!
- Coolidge State Park, Plymouth: A beautiful park dedicated to our 30th President, Coolidge State Park serves as the perfect location to pack multiple scavenger hunt hints while allowing your team to unwind and enjoy peak Killington scenery.

Game Time
Some of the best team-building activities don’t even require much moving around. Getting any group game involving individual decisions impacting results will provide a lot of great information about how teammates handle distinct situations while having fun along the way. Red Clover Inn provides the perfect spots for you and your team to enjoy classic team-based games like Jenga and Apples to Apples, all with a relaxing environment to put everyone’s minds at ease.
Creative Contests
Speaking of group games, there’s a lot to be said about the beauty of competition and what it can help bring out in terms of demonstrated skill and sportsmanship. For example, making a “first to five wins,” type contest that involves group voting on answers and ideas towards real or funny work-related scenarios is a great way to keep a team engaged and learn about how others approach unique situations.
On the non-work related side, you can do ad libbed-styled scenarios where each member is encouraged to answer how they would handle social situations quickly. This can ensure hilarious results while also serving as a plateau for a more in-depth discussion about how relevant scenarios can be handled differently, such as interacting with a satisfied or disappointed client.
There’s a lot to be had from a corporate retreat, and team-building activities are a great way to get the most out of your time in Killington, VT. Red Clover Inn is the luxury spot for you and your team to stay while enjoying all this town offers. Book your next event with us today!
