About

What Is School Supply Scramble

School Supply Scramble combines teamwork, problem-solving, and a shared purpose as your group works together to provide essential school supplies for children. In this activity, participants collaborate to complete challenges that earn them the materials needed to fill backpacks with everything from notebooks to pencils and more.

With creativity and strategy at the forefront, teams must communicate and adapt quickly to achieve their goal. Once the backpacks are complete, they’re donated to local schools or charities, creating a tangible way for your team to make a difference.

This activity energizes your group while fostering a sense of accomplishment and connection, leaving everyone inspired by the impact they’ve made together.

School Supply Scramble Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if we have inclement weather on the day of our activity? (For outdoor activities)

We appreciate that weather is not always predictable, so we have a back-up plan in the event of poor weather.  We can switch your event to our indoor app-based Team Pursuit event at no extra charge.  You would need to arrange a backup space for the activity, and we need notice of 2 hours to make the switch.

What if I need to change the date of my event?

We understand that plans can change, so please reach out as early as possible, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs. Date changes may incur a change fee, please reach out to your Sales Engagement Consultant to discuss further.

What if I need to make a last-minute change to my activity?

Depending on what the change is, we recommend discussing all changes with your dedicated Event Manager to see if we can accommodate the change.
