The Great Outdoors – Colorado Event Activities for Groups

Fun doesn’t just happen, as a planner, you must first start with a great plan and a fun-tastic place for it to happen. Whether you’re looking for team building activities, planning a corporate outing, or scheduling a company retreat, we recommend you start with our list of amazing Colorado event venues you’re going to want to try. Better yet, they are all outdoors.

Climb to New Heights

Wall climbing, ropes courses, and ziplining are wildly popular team building activities. This challenge course venue offers your team the opportunity to build stronger relationships that will transfer into the workplace.

The Edge

Denver’s #1 zipline tour at Phillip S. Miller Park, The Edge features 10 thrilling ziplines that let you soar 50 mph over 1-1/2 miles. But that’s not the only activity available at The Edge. Other options include the Adventure Tower with 13-elements of climbing, free-falling, and rappelling. There’s also an Epic Sky Trek and a 4-story challenge course with 110 + elements to conquer. For our most competitive groups, they offer the Ninja Course with ninja warrior action as seen on TV. All activities offer your group fun and exciting opportunities to problem solve, encourage and support one another, and take on new challenges.  

Park Amusement

Laughter combined with entertainment are the best (and most enjoyable) ways for your group to bond. These venues offer engaging and unique ways to bring your team together.

Rocky Mountain Vibes at UCHealth Park

If your team hasn’t visited Colorado Springs’ minor league team, the Rocky Mountain Vibes, for a rousing game of baseball, then you’re all in for a real treat. Not only will you experience an outstanding display of America’s favorite pastime, you’ll see that the Security Service Field knows how to treat their guests. The unique venue offers meeting and event space for corporate gatherings, including the Banquet Hall, Stillhouse at the Stadium, Picnic Terrace, Hot Tub Heaven’s Famous Hot Tub, Luxury Suites, and more.

Elitch Gardens Theme & Water Park

What could be more fun than racing down the most thrilling water park slides in Denver? Or thrill rides like a Boomerang roller coaster, Brain Drain 7-story thrill ride, Half Pipe, Sling Shot, and the Tower of Doom for starters? You’ll find all that and more at Elitch Gardens Theme & Water Park. Follow up the thrills with a catered picnic in their private covered pavilion.

Right on Target

Combine the great outdoors with hunting and shooting, and you’ll be right on target for a great group event.

Branded Rock Canyon

Get your team out of the office and out on the range. Branded Rock Canyon is a 15,000-acre private ranch retreat hidden away in the rugged western Colorado landscape. Precision Hunter Training, 3-Gun Curriculum, Big Game Hunting, Wingshooting, and Fly Fishing will unite your team, foster a positive team spirit, and strengthen relationships. Your group can hunt for Rocky Mountain elk and mule deer, black bear, mountain lion, pheasant, chukar and of course, fish for trout. Afterward, the gang can relax at The Rock, with spacious conference rooms and accommodations for up to 34 guests.
