Team Work Makes the Dream Work – Ranch Team Building

Staying on a dude ranch will offer tons and tons of activities in addition to horseback riding. At an Idaho ranch you can take your family and/or your coworkers for a week-long, adventure-filled vacation with activities designed for team building. For starters, there are challenge courses, zip lines, climbing walls, cattle work and river rafting. Then, once the teamwork is completed you can enjoy some solitude in the mountains. Take a look at the different specialties offered.

Challenge Course

At the Red Horse Mountain Ranch the challenge course is unlike any other experience you will have. Elements range from the ground to high elements like the 300-foot zip line. The course is designed to challenge you and your group mentally and physically with each element progressing in difficulty. The challenge course is a fantastic way for all ages to build confidence, work as a team and achieve new heights. Your challenge course facilitators will accompany you at the course; each is well-trained and professionally certified to provide a fun and safe climbing environment. Once you complete this course you have many, many other fun things to do before you leave the ranch.

Working Cattle Ranch

If you are looking for a less traditional approach to team building, consider a working cattle ranch. There’s real teamwork in the ancient cowboy tradition of tending a herd of cattle. Wait, what? Yeah, at the McGarry Ranches your group becomes a part of the cowboys. You might venture into a thousand-acre pasture to find, gather and move 150 mama and calf pairs. Or, you might be sent off to rustle up some in the trees below. Doing authentic cattle work will be a wonderful change to any other type of group meetings. Not only will you grow in confidence in yourself, your confidence in your companions’ abilities will grow as well.

White Water Rafting

White water rafting with the Seven Devils Lodge is, most definitely, a team-building exercise. This rafting trip will take you down the world-famous Hells Canyon, one of the most famous rafting destinations. Be sure to go during high water for the most intensity. If you have ever been on a rafting trip you know that everyone has to paddle to ensure safety. Everyone works together to make the adventure fun and safe. It takes a team. And, team work makes the dream work on the river, in the office, at home, and everywhere else you are a part of a team. Do yourself a favor – build your team somewhere fun, memorable and full of adventure – at a ranch.
