To tie in with London 2012, EventWorks are offering a sports day with an olympics twist this summer!
This fun and interactive Olympics event package is suitable for all kinds of groups, ages and abilities and is a great outdoor option for any summer corporate company day or team building event. It consists of a mix of elements from the classic school sports day and Olympic games traditions.
A combination of the biggest and best inflatable's mixed in with classic Olympics style events to really add to the fun. But that’s only the start, we’re really pushing the Olympics theme and we do that with a range of extras to make this event even more memorable in this Olympic year.
So what’s makes the difference in the event? Here's an example of some of the great additions to our Olympic style sports day event:
-
A great mix of the biggest inflatables
-
Mixed in with on Track Olympics Style Races
-
Our Olympic Arena to set the scene. A Large Olympics Banner over our stage area which sits in front of the main Race track complete with start and finish, lanes etc
-
Team/ Country Flags on Poles which the team member gather around prior to the competition
-
Olympics Parade – a fun filled parade around the track for all teams behind their flags
-
Olympic athlete running the show. Our great character MC runs the show
-
Olympic Podium for final presentation of medals for gold, silver and bronze
This is what we excel in and it is so important with a day like this not to just have a wide range of games in a field which people rotate through. We want to ensure there is something for everyone so we have the games split across three main areas: Area 1 - Large inflatables, Area 2 - Our Olympics Track and Area 3 - Mind and Skill Games.
This outdoor team building event can last from 2-4 hours depending on your numbers. This all adds up to a really fun day and a great way to boost employee team spirit.We can even add in an Olympics style quiz as an indoor plan B back up option. As we are a full time event management company run the entire day from start to finish and manage the activites and coordinate all timings to ensure the event runs smoothly and it a great success.
This current event is the perfect company outing for a corporate event this summer as it's fun, engaging and interactive with a team building element to it and it also gets the competitive spirit going with the teams.
It is sure to be a day to remember and there is definitely something there for everybody. As we understand the importance of all the attendees getting involved and working together, we include both physical and mental challenge zones to appeal to the entire group.
If you are planning a corporate summer event with a mix of everything then the EventWorks Olympic Challenge is perfect for you. It will entertain your staff for hours and a great way to draw this event to the close would be with a BBQ at your chosen venue. We run this event all across Ireland.
