In previous pages we've outlined our unique suite of innovative adventures and events, all designed and implemented with extraordinary attention to detail. Although these adventures and events make up the majority of what we do, we are also able to design custom events throughout Canada, the US, and anywhere in the world. Once the decision is made which theme to go with, let the expert planners at Canadian Outback Adventures put together a memorable event anywhere your team may be getting together.
Notes from two of our clients...
"To say that your team exceeded our expectations is but stating the obvious. The team was organized and well prepared on the day of the event itself and every challenge that presented itself was met with equal determination and flexibility. I am so thrilled to have worked with such a fabulous group of professionals. In the words of my client, ‘A perfectly choreographed event'." PGI Events and Destinations Inc.
“On behalf of Vision|Co. it is with great gratitude that we thank you for your dedication during the 2006 FedEx Sales Forum conference in Quebec City. At Vision|Co. we are committed to delivering superior customer service. We are proud to partner with extraordinary people like you. People who share in the same philosophies and who in turn enable us to deliver the "Wow" factor to our clients."
 
Companies from around the world choose to work with us for a number of important reasons. First and foremost, our clients trust us with their investment. In this era of "fly by night" operators, trusting the people you choose to plan and implement your event is paramount. Following are just a few examples of what we can do.
A meeting planner contacted us recently to reinvigorate an event they had planned in Barcelona, Spain. They found working with locals in Spain very challenging, and decided having our team head over to plan and implement their event would be a better solution. We worked feverishly to pull it off, and did.
Working with a professional event planner in the United States and his client from a large US-based transportation company, the creative team at Canadian Outback created an Apprentice-style team building event which included constructing, customizing and drag racing brand new mountain bikes, and which were later donated to a deserving local charity. A sub-theme of the event was the design and construction of a giant plexiglass 3-D logo, incorporating 3-D jigsaw pieces signed by each participant and inserted into the back of the giant logo, and which committed each participant to the future of this great organization. The completed logo is now proudly displayed at their manufacturing plant to serve as a permanent reminder of the team work, the creativity and the commitment of the event participants.
Recently we had the pleasure of working with a large Toronto-based company to plan their annual summer Fun Day at BMO Field in Toronto, featuring games, fun, food and competitions for 1300 associates.
Microsoft had a contingent coming in from the UK, and wanted a multi-day, remote, winter themed team building event. The event planning experts at Canadian Outback Adventures built this program to achieve this. Based in the Callaghan Valley near Whistler, site of the cross-country events at the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics, this multi-faceted event achieved its objectives and was enjoyed by all.
Based in Seattle, Washington this client wanted to experience our "Corporate Castaways" style event in a remote location. With just 2 weeks to put this challenging event together, our talented team implemented a hugely successful event on Sucia Island, a picturesque remote island in the San Juans. The Washington Mutual team flew in on floatplanes, took part in the Corporate Castaways challenges, then took an exhilarating zodiac ride to a local luxury resort for a relaxing evening together.
This event was based on a fun interactive team competition where each team was commissioned to create their very own art exhibit or exhibits within the four themes, Experience, Balance, Technology and Flexibility. At the same time as promoting these messages, the team competition enabled the accompanying PwC representatives to get to know the individual graduates and assess personal candidate qualities and capabilities.
Microsoft wanted an event that would take them from their Redmond, Washington campus all the way to the luxurious Wickanninish Inn in Tofino, BC. We custom designed a 2 day "Canadian Outback's Amazing Chase" facilitated training event to include a professional facilitator, luxury transportation, and a variety of unique Amazing Chase checkpoints along the way.
The event empowered the group to feel the competition of one of the greatest sporting events on earth. Following the Parade of Athletes and Opening Ceremony, each Team competed head to head against another team as they rotated through 9 different challenges to become the “Solvay Regional Champions”. Challenges included but weren't limited to an "Indoor Biathlon," "Outdoor Hockey," "Team Slalom" and "Curling." Once teams finished the challenges, the Gold Medal Champions were honoured at the Closing Ceremonies.
200 of the top Porsche dealers from around the world were looking for a unique wilderness adventure near Vancouver. By combining our deluxe "Whistler Wilderness Whitewater Rafting" adventure with a delicious west coast themed meal set beside the river, a wonderful result was achieved.
A large entourage of incentive visitors from Spain wanted an interactive event that would allow the group to see “The Best of British Columbia”. This was an active group who wanted to see the sights, but also wanted to truly experience what this region is all about. We custom designed this Amazing Chase to allow teams of 4 to tour the region in motor homes over a period of 5 days, interacting with various adventures and points of interest in such areas as Tofino, Victoria, Vancouver, Whistler, the Cariboo and Okanagan.
