Team Building
With Sunriver Resort's diversity, professional staff, and vast Northwest beauty, there is nothing stopping you from providing your group with a memorable and exciting experience. No matter what the season, we will work with you to provide a program that best suits your group. Bring on the fun!
Some of our unique group programs include:
HOLE-IN-ONE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
It's always the right time to play golf at Sunriver Resort. However, there is a twist! Before you can play, you have to build it. This activity encourages teams to think outside the box. Teams will receive a variety of materials to design and construct one of the holes needed to complete a putting course. Upon completion, individuals will tee it up. Who will be able to beat par on this course?
CANOE OBSTACLE COURSE
Guests will bike from the Sunriver Resort Bike Shop to the Sunriver Marina (15 minutes). They will then get geared up to bob and weave their way around strategically placed buoys and head to the finish line in this calm-water activity. Relay-style or individual competition, this event has its participants experiencing some of the best scenery Sunriver has to offer.
PUTTING COURSE
Sunriver Resort has a nine-hole putting course with beautiful open meadows and Mt. Bachelor as its backdrop. This activity is perfect for a dinner, a welcome reception, or a simple hors d'oeuvres function. This is an ideal outdoor event with fun competition, spectacular food, and buckets of beer or beverages of your choice.
CHALLENGE ROPES COURSE
Combine ropes, cables, tall trees, and a beautiful outdoor setting with activities that are both fun and exhilarating for an afternoon of adventure. Incorporate team skills or leadership training with this event.
GLOW-BALL PUTTING TOURNAMENT
Who said you had to stop golfing when night rolls around? In Sunriver when the sun goes down, we light up our nine-hole natural-grass putting course and play some more! We can arrange tournament-style play, or you can just play for fun.
TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
On your mark…Get set…Go! Who will be the first to cross the finish line? Compete as a team or individually in these exciting, low-key events, where skill and time will seal your fate. Participants will compete in events that may include Monster Truck Rally, Bull's-Eye Dart Contest, Chip Shot Golf Contest, and Basketball Hotshot. Will you take home the title of Tournament Champion?
SUNRIVER RESORT REGATTA
If you are seeking an event that focuses on teamwork and communication, then this boat-building program is the event for you. The group will be divided into a number of teams. Each team will be responsible for constructing and floating a boat. (Limited materials supplied.) This program is a unique group dynamics event, but can also be just for fun. You can only hope your boat floats!
GLOW-IN-THE-DARK VOLLEYBALL
Add a little competition to the conference and a whole lot of fun. This outdoor glow-in-the-dark volleyball experience will keep your attendees laughing and enjoying their meeting while spending quality time with coworkers.
THE OREGON TRAIL CHALLENGE
Join us for an “Old West” Survivor Challenge. Sunriver is rich in history: Native Americans hunted this area with weapons crafted from the nearby obsidian flows, and Camp Abbott was built here to train troops during World War II. Your group will be divided into “troops” to compete in a series of challenges. Groups will be faced with events that require brainpower, teamwork, and some physical endurance. Events may involve orienteering, word scrambles, digging, canoe obstacle courses, and more.
TIN CUP TOURNAMENT
Professional golfers, beware: no putters allowed here. This interactive activity is for golfers and non-golfers alike. We provide a variety of crazy clubs that will be used at each hole. Teams will compete for the best score. Don't forget to bring your short game!
SCAVENGER HUNT
This activity combines teamwork, brainpower, and scenic pedaling around Sunriver. Each team is given bikes, a disposable camera, and a set of clues. Some clues involve reaching specific destinations or playing comical dress-up at a destination with the provided props; others encourage team creativity to achieve the goals. Success can be judged on time completion, but we recommend waiting for the photo results to determine the team's true success!
WACKY OLYMPICS
Participate in zany events that are designed just for your group. Turkey bowling, buddy walker relay, mini-bike obstacle course, root beer chug, and egg toss are just a few of the events that will have your group rolling with laughter.
ROW, RIDE, RUN TRIATHLON
Do your group members need a physical challenge, or are they looking for something more than just a fun run? Participants can compete in teams of 2 to 3 people or as individuals. The first leg of the race is a 4½-mile bike ride along the scenic Deschutes River, followed by a ¾-mile kayak leg down river to the final leg of the race, which is a ½- to ¾-mile run to the finish line.
