Corporate Team Building At Merribrook Gets Creative

Team building activities in Perth and across Western Australia have just got a little more creative.

Introducing Merribrooks Creative Team Art Workshop.

Discover the depth of your teams creativity and talent with an art workshop at your next teambuilding day.

From a blank canvas to a creative piece of art, teams experience the fun of working together to create a masterpiece. There is a role for all to contribute and overcome the daunting prospect of putting paint onto canvas. The results are surprisingly excellent and have often been framed for the office wall.

Our Art facilitators have extensive experience working with corporate groups to challenge their creativity, have fun and uncover a wealth of talent in the teams.

Working in teams, participants are given basic instructions in the use of the materials and ways to create different effects on the canvas . Preliminary sketches and ideas representing a theming topic, team values or future vision are put onto canvas by the team, to create the painting. A large team may create one very long art piece with smaller teams completing their section of the canvas and integrating with the team on each side.

A great journey for any team. Book your creative experience today!

Selecting The Right Venue For Your Team Building Event

Team building activities in Perth and Western Australia are Merribrook Corporate Outdoor’s speciality.

When considering your team building day, selecting the ideal setting for your groups needs is important. That is why Merribrook have launched a venues page to help you with your decision making. The list is by no means exhaustive but may help to guide you in selecting the right venue.

Merribrook can run your program on any outdoor space, oval, beach front or reserve, with some programs also requiring the use of a conference room. Whether a local park near your workplace; at the conference venue of your choice; in the beautiful surrounds of Merribrook Retreat in Margaret River or any inspiring space by the beach; overlooking the swan river; out in the swan valley or amongst the trees in Kings Park, we will come to you.

The benefits of getting outside and breathing in the fresh air are plentiful. The outdoor environment also helps to create a level playing field for all participants to learn something about teamwork.

Almost no destination is out of the question. We will custom design an event at the venue of your choice. Recently for example, Merribrook held an event at Lake Leschenaultia as requested by our client. The fun Safari Style program saw 5 teams of budding accountants traverse the lake, undertaking many fun and challenging activities along the way. Getting out of the city and into nature held a great appeal to our client and made for an exciting and unique experience for the participants.

Some questions for you to consider:

  • Are your time frames short and therefore do you need to be close to the office?
  • Does your budget allow for transportation costs?
  • Do you want to be close to a nice venue where you can have a few drinks and nibbles afterwards?
  • Do you want to escape the city with your team for the day or weekend?
  • Do you require disability access?
  • Do you require catering, power, signage and / or a liquor licence?
  • Do you require accommodation and conference facilities also?

Let us know your groups needs and we will take care of all venue preparations for you.

We can also provide recommendations and quotes for transportation and catering if required.
