A Place Built for Bringing People Together

Colorado Springs is one of those places that makes every experience feel a little more alive. Pikes Peak – America's Mountain stands majestically 14,115 feet above sea level. Garden of the Gods creates awe for first-time visitors and locals alike. The Arkansas River carves through canyon country just down the road. And in the heart of the city, a walkable downtown full of restaurants, shops and creative energy gives groups a place to celebrate and unwind after a great day together.

Find the Right Experience for Your Group

Colorado Springs team building experiences cover a lot of ground. Here is a look at the categories available so you can start pointing your group in the right direction.

1. Outdoor Adventure

The mountains, trails and waterways around Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region are an invitation to get out and explore together. Mountain 4x4 tours, guided hikes, zip line experiences, whitewater rafting and stand-up paddleboarding all make for unforgettable group days with scenery that does half the work for you.

Great for: groups that want to get active, build trust and share a real adventure.

2. Creative and Artistic Experiences

Creativity has a way of bringing out the best in people. Guided art sessions inspired by the Colorado landscape, hands-on cooking classes and indoor golf give groups a chance to make something together and discover new things about each other along the way.

Great for: all-levels groups, mixed departments and conferences looking for a cultural experience.

3. High-Energy and Competitive

Friendly competition is one of the fastest routes to real connection. Archery dodgeball, VR escape rooms and themed mini golf courses give your group an outlet for that competitive energy while keeping things fun, inclusive and genuinely exciting.

Great for: team bonding, morale boosts, post-conference fun and groups of all ages.

4. Leadership and Wellness

The most meaningful group experiences often create space to slow down and reflect. Equine-guided leadership sessions, yoga, myofascial release and mindfulness experiences give your group room to reconnect and leave with something that resonates long after the day ends.

Great for: executive retreats, leadership development and organizations investing in culture and wellbeing.

5. Culinary Experiences

A shared meal has always been one of the most natural ways to bring people together. Private cooking classes and culinary team experiences let your group collaborate in the kitchen, laugh over the process and sit down together to enjoy something they created.

Great for: smaller groups, client entertainment and anyone who loves good food.

What team building activities work for large groups of 100 or more?

Several Colorado Springs providers scale beautifully for larger groups. Peak Play Performance is designed for all group sizes. Echo Canyon's Battle of the Bighorn accommodates multiple simultaneous rafts on the river. Mustang Wisdom Ranch partners with multiple mountain venues across the Pikes Peak Region to accommodate large organizational retreats. Reaching out to providers directly is always a good first step to confirm logistics and capacity.

How far are outdoor activities from downtown Colorado Springs?

One of the things that makes this destination so special is our proximity to nature. Most outdoor experiences are within 10 to 60 minutes of Downtown Colorado Springs. Garden of the Gods is just a few minutes from the city center. Pikes Peak is a short scenic drive to the west. And the Arkansas River, where you can embark on rafting experiences, is roughly 45 minutes southwest of the city. Having direct access to so many natural wonders is one of Colorado Springs' great advantages for group travel.

Are there year-round team building options in Colorado Springs?

Absolutely. While some outdoor experiences are seasonal, Colorado Springs enjoys abundant sunshine throughout the year, which extends the outdoor season well into fall and winter. Indoor options like VR experiences, cooking classes, climbing at CityROCK, art sessions and the golf simulator at City Golf COS are available year-round. Whatever time of year you visit, there is a great group experience waiting.

Can team building vendors come to our hotel or event venue?

Several local providers offer on-site experiences that can travel to your venue. Elevated Art Experience and Peak Play Performance both bring their programming to group locations. When you are planning, simply share your venue details with providers and they can advise on what works best for your group.

Do we need to make reservations in advance?

For most group experiences, advance booking is recommended, especially for larger groups or popular dates. Booking a few weeks ahead is a good general rule, and for larger retreats or busy summer weekends, reaching out even earlier gives you the best selection. Most providers have group inquiry forms or direct contact options to get the planning process started.
