Craft of Challenge: Wisconsin Team Building that Connects

Team building doesn’t just happen. Like everything else, you must start with a great plan and a fun place. When it comes to planning a corporate outing, scheduling a company retreat, or looking for a team building venue, one thing is for certain, you will want to be sure to choose a team building activity that connects. Here are a few Wisconsin team building activities that do just that.

Climb to New Heights

Rock climbing, ropes courses, and ziplining are wildly popular team building activities. These venues offer your team the opportunity to build stronger relationships that will transfer into the workplace.

Glacier Canyon Conference Center at Wilderness Resort


Three new indoor Clip ‘n Climb Challenge Walls are each 2-1/2 stories tall. The Circuit Breaker has a distinctive tech feel, The Speed Climb encourages climbers to race to the top, and The Big Cheese offers a timed challenge. But that’s not the only activity available at this Wisconsin Dells facility. Other options include golf at two challenging courses, lazer tag, lazer maze, sky ropes course, mini golf, room escapes, and more. All activities offer your group fun and exciting opportunities to problem solve, encourage and support one another, and take on new challenges.  

Lake Geneva Ziplines and Adventures


Lake Geneva’s top outdoor adventure and team building destination invites your team to the thrill of a 9-line ziplining course. Or, choose the high ropes excursion offering 16 fun and challenging high ropes obstacles. Then again, if you prefer, Lake Geneva Canopy Tours will tailor a team building program to suit your needs. Simply tell them your group goals and they’ll create the perfect program for you. Multiple versatile indoor and outdoor meeting spaces lets your crew congregate both pre- and post-event.

Fun and Games

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

Milwaukee Brewers @ Miller Park


If your team hasn’t visited Milwaukee’s major league team for a rousing game of baseball, then you’re all in for a real treat.

From Miller Park Tours, Bernie’s Slide Experience, and a once-in-a-lifetime VIP experience, they’ll keep your group thoroughly entertained. The unique venue offers meeting and event space for corporate gatherings as well, including the field, Johnson Controls Stadium Club, Northwestern Mutual Legends Club, the SKYY Lounge, and more.

Knuckleheads Wisconsin Dells


What could be more fun than trampoline jumping? How about trampoline slam dunk basketball, an open jumping area, dodge ball, and a custom BigAir “stunt” bag for starters? You’ll find all that and more at Knuckleheads Wisconsin Dells. Follow up your jump with a few games at their state-of-the-art cosmic bowling lanes with full bar and grill menu. And just in case the group is in the mood for more, there are bumper cars, a roller coaster, go carts, and ropes courses too.
