The Context |
From time immemorial, lonely travelers have wandered the desert in search of the next oasis to refuel, re-chart their course and find the strength to continue their journey. Now more than ever, the members of your team need a chance to pause, build relationships, reflect, and generate strategies to tackle the demands they face on a day to day basis. This unique team building experience in Toronto, an urban safari, is a cross between a car rally, scavenger hunt and a treasure hunt. It will give the members of your team a chance to get to improve their relationships in a non-threatening environment.

Pre-Safari |
Prior to your team building session, we can arrange to provide each participant with a 1 day TTC pass or identify 1 team member for every 6 participants who has an SUV that can serve as a makeshift jeep or dune buggy for the day. If you have the budget for it, we can even rent rickshaws, or segways for part of the safari. We will then form your group into teams of 4 - 6. To determine the optimal mix for each team we will take into consideration:
- Cross functional team dynamics
- Team members who don’t know each other very well
- Team members who have difficulty working together
- Team members at different locations who need to improve their ability to communicate
We will give each team a colour (or letter for large groups). Two weeks prior to your team building session, each participant will receive an invitation with the names of their team members. During the two weeks pre-safari, they will have an opportunity to connect and arrange a place to meet so that they can travel to their first stop together if you are using SUVs. Each team will be invited to come up with a name and a theme for their team and, if they desire, some costumes incorporating their team colour to reflect the theme.

At the Edge of the Desert |
A member of The Training Oasis, Inc. team will meet your party at your office or another pre-specified location in York Region or Toronto. We'll start off with an icebreaker, a briefing session and a team competition. The winning team will be given a head start. As they head out the door, each team will get their clue sheets, a one day TTC pass, water, a tote bag for collectibles, and a disposable camera.

At The Oasis |
The first team to reach the oasis gets bonus points. Then, depending on your budget, you'll be served lunch, dinner or light refreshments. We can even arrange an interactive demo and dine experience. After we score your trivia and view your photos and collected objects, prizes will be awarded.
For recreational sessions, teams will have a chance to relax, compare notes and share the highlights of their day.
