survivor: the canadian outback

Survivor team building, without the 'voting off' part of course!

[for Frequently Asked Questions please click the FAQ > button below]

Following numerous requests from our corporate clients, Canadian Outback Adventures has designed an authentic recreation of the challenges seen on the popular "Survivor" tv series. These 9 engaging challenges combine with ceremonies and a variety of custom locations to provide your group with a premier corporate team building and employee development & training solution. Anyone can participate as no special skills, athletic ability or experience are required.

Groups from 8-1000+ can participate at once. Groups are split into tribes of 4-10 people with tribal names taken from various First Nations groups. Each tribe's goal is to complete the various challenges as effectively as possible. Challenges such as Blind Leading the Blind, Triage, Squamish Scramble, and Buried Treasure test strategy, communication, and other essential business components. Physical skill is not a focus.

With the results in, the torches lit, and the Survivor music getting louder and louder, the Survivor Host is ready for the awards presentation. One by one the torches are extinguished as tribes are eliminated from contention. One final torch remains lit; the medals are then presented to the winning tribe.

"Survivor: The Canadian Outback was a fantastic experience for our entire company and we will be talking about it for many years. Everyone had a great time and it was more fun than we expected (and our expectations were very high after the Amazing Race from last year!). The challenges were very well designed, safe and could be completed by any tribe member. They really taught us how to work together very rapidly and use each other’s ideas to come up with better ways to save time and effort on the challenges."

Optional Organizational Development Training:

At Canadian Outback we are able to provide facilitated events that address specific challenges or issues you are experiencing in your workplace. Recognizing that our event may only be one element of a bigger workshop, our facilitators work with you to help maximize your return from the workshops by ensuring the activity is aligned and integrated to achieve your desired outcomes.

Our events not only lend themselves perfectly to professional facilitation, they will also capture the imagination and attention of your staff (who no doubt feel they have “seen it all” when it comes to professional training). These events are modified to maximize the impact our facilitator and the challenges will have with your group.
