Summer corporate events are not only an opportunity for integration. They are also a great opportunity to look at the team from a completely new perspective. How about moving away from classic solutions and opting for modern forms of team building? We are talking about spectacular, modern water sports. But how to choose the one that will really work? Flyride, jetpack, or maybe blob jump? The choice should not be random – it should be a response to the needs and personality of your team.
Every team is a separate story
Before you decide on water attractions for the event, stop for a moment and ask yourself: what is the character of your team? Are they calm, organized, maybe a bit introverted, but open to new experiences? Or maybe you are dealing with a team of extroverts, hungry for adrenaline, laughter and spectacular experiences?
It is not about matching the attraction to one person. It is about the common denominator – the atmosphere in which the team feels good. And here comes the space for water sports, which can be very diverse – from smooth, almost dance-like flights over the water to loud jumps and surprising catapults.
Different attractions mean different emotions
Water sports provide space for expressing emotions and breaking barriers. In addition, for discovering new talents and laughter that really integrates. However, for the effect to be electrifying, it is worth understanding the nature of a given attraction. Let’s also focus on what is happening around it – in the emotions of the participants and in the team as a whole.
Take flyride for example – it is an attraction that gives a sense of freedom and lightness. Flying over the water resembles riding a hovercraft, and the controls are intuitive. These aspects make even the less courageous people quickly gain self-confidence. Jetpack is a completely different story – it is a show, power, a challenge. The participant, like a hero of an action movie, rises high, with powerful streams of water behind his back. It takes courage, but also imagination to reach for this scenario. And finally – blob jump, a total explosion of energy and laughter. A water catapult that causes bursts of joy. This is an option for teams that are not afraid to be a little crazy, love competition and want to feel like children in the best sense of the word.
How to match the attraction to the type of team?
Although the final decision should also depend on logistics and budget, it is worth taking a look at what the team itself says about itself. Are they looking for new stimuli? Do they need to relieve tension? Do they function better in individual or team challenges? Based on our experience with hundreds of corporate events, we can distinguish several examples of combinations that work great:
- Creative, multidisciplinary teams respond well to flyride – it gives a sense of freedom, encourages individual attempts, but does not force competition.
- Sales, dynamic, competitive teams are ideal for challenges such as jetpack, which focus on spectacularity, energy and adrenaline.
- Teams made up of young employees or newly established departments have a great time at blob jump, where humor, randomness and shared experiences act as an injection of quick integration.
Why is it worth trusting water?
Because water is an element that immediately takes off the “professional masks”. Everyone who stands on the board or on the launching platform to jump is simply themselves. And it shows. And this is exactly what is missing in many corporate integrations – authenticity. Water sports are not just another attraction – they are a space for real meeting of people. They teach courage, build community and give the feeling that something extraordinary is being done together. And in our opinion, this is one of the most valuable effects of integration.
When you work with us, you don’t have to worry about anything – the scenarios are flexible, and we select attractions according to the team’s profile.
A team that experiences a water adventure together will remember it for a long time. So if you are planning a team integration and want it to bring real results – choose attractions that will fuel team energy!
