Corporate Castaways
Turn your team into survivors with Corporate Castaways, a high-energy team building activity where teamwork and strategy determine who will thrive in a series of fun and competitive challenges.
What Is Corporate Castaways
Corporate Castaways is a team building activity inspired by Survivor, the hit show everyone knows. Your group splits into tribes, each with its own name, bandana, and cheer, then competes through a lineup of physical and mental challenges built from everyday supplies. At the end of the event, the tribe with the most points takes home the medals and the bragging rights.
Why Teams Love This Outdoor Survival Team Challenge
- Tribes build real team identity. Naming your tribe, decorating bandanas, and inventing a cheer gives every group a sense of pride before the first challenge even starts.
- It rewards resourcefulness. With only the supplies provided, tribes have to think on their feet and get creative to win each challenge.
- It gets people moving. With a moderate to high activity level, this is a great option for teams who want an active, high energy day outdoors.
- Strategy matters as much as strength. Tribes choose which challenges to tackle and in what order, so smart planning can beat brute force.
This makes Corporate Castaways a strong fit for a wide range of corporate events, from summer picnics and company retreats to multi day conferences with an outdoor component. Whether you’re a long-standing team or a group that’s just getting started, it offers a fun way to work together, develop strategies, and enjoy a little friendly competition.

We could not have asked for a better crew
