Activities

Well-designed and executed activities are an integral part of any program. Beatty Group develops an understanding of your objectives and creates activities to fit your group profile.
Team Building - Encourage synergy and cohesiveness, increase communication, motivation, leadership skills, goal setting ability and productivity. Examples:

Scavenger Hunt
An exciting and creative competition tailored to visit local landmarks, the Scavenger Hunt arms participants with a camera, film and a packet of clues. The key to winning this fun and interactive “hunt” is through teamwork with lots of laughs along the way – all captured on film! Their picture “loot” is used to determine the winning team and provides team members with memories of the area and your event that will last for years.

Dragon Boat Races
An event whose origins lie deep in Chinese mythology, teams of 22 board ornately carved boats to race each other on the Willamette River. Participants try to develop paddling skills into a coordinated effort to the rhythm of the drum. A loud, boisterous event that participants won’t soon forget.

Recreational Sports
Wide range from participatory to spectator:
