CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONIBILITY

AT WOODLOCH RESORT

Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Teambuilding is at the cornerstone of our off-site meeting business. We understand the importance of creating and strengthening the bonds of your work team. Woodloch stands alone with its commitment to hospitality and service and by doing so will create the most successful and entertaining off-site meeting experience for your company.

Woodloch aspires to be the leader in on-site team development programs, as well as an eco-friendly, community focused company, and we realize the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility. We also recognize that there is an opportunity to promote socially responsible programs through our offered teambuilding activities. We encourage your company to ‘Give Back’ and we have developed some outstanding programs to help you accomplish just that. These brand-new activities have been created with community and environment in mind as well as achieving your teambuilding objectives.

Catapult

Shout “Bombs away” as you attempt to destroy your opponents target with water balloons. In this challenge your team will work to create a fully functional catapult out of predetermined supplies under a strict time limit. Your team will also build a small castle to fly your team’s flag upon along with a shield and sword to protect your castle from the impending water explosion. Now wind up and let the bombs fly as you attempt to take out other teams castles on your way to victory. Invite a local school/charity to help in the festivities and see how the satisfaction of making someone else happy is reward enough… even if you don’t drench the other team.

• CSR: Giving children and/or charities a day of positive reinforcement, fun and exercise.

Carnival for a Cause

Put hammer to nail and start building! Your group, divided into teams, will be putting their craftsmanship and creativity to the test by building different carnival games. There are a wide variety of games to choose to build and several themes. Select your theme, then your games and start building. At the end of the build, each game will be judged on creativity, carpentry and effort. Then the option is yours, share your carnival immediately by hosting an event at Woodloch or enjoy the games for yourself. Woodloch will then donate your company made carnival to an organization of your choice for charity use. We will donate the carnival games that you built to local fundraising organizations.

  • Building Blocks: Communication Skills, Creative Development, Craftsmanship, Teamwork.
  • CSR: Completed carnival packages will be donated to schools, churches or NFP organizations to be used for fund raising.

The Benevolent Bike Build

It’s a Woodloch Scavenger Hunt… with a higher purpose. Follow the clues, solve the puzzles and gather your treasures as a team (tasks may vary in difficulty at the discretion of the planner). Your buried treasure will consist of pieces to a bicycle(s) that the whole group must then assemble. Once the bike is built, local children will come to Woodloch to receive the bikes (or Woodloch can deliver bikes to local schools/churches) so you can witness the difference that you are making in these children’s lives.

  • Building Blocks: Communication Skills, Creative Development, Problem Solving, Following Direction.
  • CSR: Once the bikes have been built they are donated to under privileged children in the community.

Going Green GPS

Try this geocaching adventure with a twist. Companies will purchase “easy to navigate” GPS units in coordination with how many teams they wish to have. The GPS device will then be programmed with different locations on the Woodloch property where each team will collect a variety of materials that need to be compiled. Once together the teams realize the new task at hand, planting trees. The goal is to incorporate community; each team will be paired up with a local school or charity group throughout the geocaching adventure. The trees can then be planted on Woodloch property or donated elsewhere (such as the school or organization involved in the adventure). The GPS units can be donated to the school or charity group, or remain with the company.

  • Building Blocks: Communication Skills, Problem Solving, Navigation Skills, Direction.
  • CSR: A new learning experience for children, continued benefits to the school with donated GPS, ecowareness.

Food for All

You and your team of cooks will attempt to make delicious desserts and appetizers in a certain amount of time and under strict parameters; are you a Top Chef? Thankfully, for your sake, one of Woodloch’s talented chefs will guide you through the process. You will then sample everyone else’s work and make your judgment under ultimate scrutiny of the Woodloch food critics. Spice up your event and try to sell your goodies, bake-sale-style, raise the most money for your charity and we’ll crown you champion.

  • Building Blocks: Communication Skills, Problem Solving, Creative Development.
  • CSR: Event fee and/or money raised by the event will be donated to charity (or food bank) at the discretion of the company.

Woodloch Community Olympics

In Woodloch’s Olympic Games you can lead your “country” to Olympic gold! Choose from over 100 possible events to create a unique Olympic experience for your group. Sponsor a local school or charity to come and join your team to compete for the medal and admire the faces you’ve put a big smile upon.
