Corporate Team Building 

Successful team-building events not only bring people closer together, they also contribute to a more successful and creative workplace. Bair Island Aquatic Center facilitates that bonding with an event that brings people together by encouraging communication, collaboration, and teamwork. After you spend a few hours on the water together, we think your team will communicate and work better together remotely. Everyone will be in a personal watercraft, plying the beautiful, protected wetland waterways of Redwood City.

Come celebrate and build team spirit while enjoying the water and sunshine together, and apart.

Gist of the Day

Participants start out with an introduction to the craft they are assigned, a rowing single, SUP (stand up paddleboard), kayak, or surfski — all single-person crafts. Team members will then move to the water where they will spend the majority of the time. We will enjoy an outing to practice the new skills and then divide into groups for a friendly competition, all while maintaining physical distancing.

The day concludes with a closing ceremony and a team photo with paddles and oars. Enjoy the sun glinting off the water, watch a seal or a sea bird, and get to know your team in an entirely new and exciting way.

More details:

• Add a volunteer component! We have the supplies so your team can help clean the bay.
• Flexible Group Sizes: The ideal size is 8 to 30 participants and we will structure the day around your group size. We cannot accommodate groups larger than 35 people.
• Do good! Proceeds from these corporate events underwrite our adaptive, injured veterans, and youth outreach programs.
• Water Entry & Safety: The craft available will change based on the conditions. No one needs to go into the water, but it's always a possibility in watersports. Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) will be provided for all participants. If you have someone who doesn't enjoy being on the water in a small watercraft, they may ride with the safety launch. We have a special role for that person, because we are building teams and there is an important role for everyone!
