Outdoor Centre Activities

Hiking / Snowshoeing

Keep it in the office or take it outside!  There are many options to choose from with our Hiking and Snowshoeing Programs.  Tight on time?  Have our experts come to the office for a Lunch’n’Learn Session detailing how to get into hiking or snowshoeing, neat places to check out, ways to get families involved and information for taking your adventure outside the city!

Take a half or full day to explore the great hiking or snowshoeing opportunities within Calgary!  Our expert guide will lead you through one of the many locations right here in the city limits: Weasel Head, Bowmont Park or Nosehill.  Or take it up a notch with a full day of team building through a trip outside the city. 

Want to make it the complete package?  Workplace Wellness also has options to add on bag lunches and/or van transportation.

Climbing Wall and Rock Climbing

Staff getting a bit antsy in the office?  Set them free and let them climb the walls…literally!  Choose from Indoor Wall Climbing or Outdoor Rock Climbing. 

Our Indoor Climbing Wall is a unique way to build teamwork and trust.  Not to mention, it’s an awesome way to burn some energy in a 2-hour time span.

Re-energize your work crew with a full day of Outdoor Rock Climbing. Head out to either popular rock climbing locations Yamnuska or Wasootch.  Options include the addition of bag lunches and/or van transportation. 

Indoor and Outdoor Climbing includes instruction, climbing equipment and shoes. 

Mountain Biking

No experience required for this out-of-office adventure.  Leave the dirty details to us as your choice of half day/full day inner city tour or half day/full day in the mountains includes instructor, transportation, permits, bikes and helmets.   Opt to also include a bag lunch for your team.

Canoeing

Enjoy a half or full day on the Glenmore Reservoir with your group!  In addition to gear and safety reviews, games will also be included.  Both half and full day programs include instruction, canoes, paddles and personal floatation devices.  You may also choose to add bag lunch and/or transportation from The University of Calgary.

Cross Country Skiing

Activate your staff with either a half or full day of Cross Country Skiing.  Take your staff outside the city to Pocaterra for a great bonding experience for a full or half day.  Either option includes instruction and equipment and the option to add bag lunches and/or transportation.  Or bring your own equipment and save!

Dependent on snow quality, keep your team close to home with a quick jaunt to Bragg Creek or Shaganappi Golf Course for a half day.  Includes instruction and equipment. 

Rafting

Does your team play it safe or live on the edge?  Choose your own adventure with either a gentle Float Rafting Trip or an adrenaline infused White Water Rafting Trip.  

Choose to float in the city or out!  Trips within the city range from 2.5 to 3.5 hours while out of city floats last anywhere from 4 to 5 hours. 

Up the quality of office watercooler stories with a full day White Water Rafting on the Red Deer River!   Your team will be reminiscing about the best day of “work” for years to come.
