Summary of Your Needs & Logistics:
Contact: Taryn Haggerstone; Event Specialist
Date(s): at Loon Lake August 14th-18th 2023 - Requested programming on Day 2 - Tuesday, August 15th 2023
Location: Loon Lake Lodge & Retreat Centre in Maple Ridge
Timing: Requested afternoon timing - 3-4 hours - exact time TBD
Number of Participants: TBD approx 130 participants
Invitation, Context & Objectives:
Taryn from AbCellera has invited Pinnacle Pursuits to propose an afternoon session for their team of approx 130 at Loon Lake on their second day as a kick-off for their retreat. This team building event will act as a bit of an icebreaker - it will be one of the first things on the schedule & some employees may be meeting each other for the first time. Historically people have enjoyed activities that bring in an element of friendly competition and have elements that play to various strengths (mental, physical, problem-solving, etc) so people who see themselves as less athletic don't walk away feeling like it was a poor experience. The full camp is booked over the retreat.
Proposed Program Format:
Based on your objectives, the number of people attending, and overall timing, Pinnacle Pursuits is proposing to have participants split into 3 groups of 40+ people based on our needs for group sizes, location space and overall facilitation requirements. The idea would be to have 3 different adventures / team-building experiences going on at the same time.
Proposed Program:
Based on dividing the participants into 3 groups over the afternoon, we have created 3 different activity options - that the 3 groups can do simultaneously. And they will be able to choose two activities in the 3-4hr time period. These options will bring out the best in people, have people connecting with each other, working together collaboratively, and overall create an environment for playful fun, laughter, and lasting memories.
These include:
Activity 1 - ‘Mini-Team Spirit Challenge’ (1.5hrs) – A series of fun competitive survivor-like team building games in 8 teams of 5-6, in the field.
Activity 2 - ‘Mini-Amazing Adventure Race’ (1.5hrs) - A great opportunity to explore Loon Lake in a face-paced adventure, have teams working together in small teams (10 teams of 4-5), and tackle unique and fun challenges along the way.
Activity 3 - ‘Raft-Building’ - (1.5hrs) – In 8 teams of 5, participants must design, build and attempt to float/paddle/race their ‘home-made’ raft made of a series of unique materials that include plastic pallets, barrels, ropes and lumber! Paddles up!

Investment & Budget:
For a half-day program of this nature, customized to meet your objectives, the cost range for up to 130 people is approx $95-$100pp + GST depending on exact activities, customization, logistics, and staff required. Includes any upfront discussions/consulting as required, custom program design, planning and paperwork, staff team as needed & meals for staff team, team-building activity supplies and equipment as necessary, $5 million comprehensive liability insurance, and full program management. Cost does not include swag/awards/giveaways.

OUR WHY:
WE BELIEVE...that in a world that is constantly changing in complexity, continues to grow in demands and expectations, and where ‘disconnect’ is becoming more prevalent, the same thread of humanness continues to run through each of us: the need and drive to be curious, learn, connect with others, understand and be understood, feel valued among peers, trust one another, take risks, challenge ourselves, live and work with purpose, and achieve. These qualitative experiences may be difficult to measure, but that does not undermine their importance; they have an enormous impact on personal growth, confidence, happiness, and overall performance and success in all areas of life. We believe that these are the most important qualities and values for both individuals and teams, and also for humanity as a whole.
At Pinnacle Pursuits, we dedicate our work and focus to the design and delivery of such experiences.
