Every company is different – different number of employees, different values, different issues, different hours, different products and services. And just like companies, summer events are not one size fits all. WCF specializes in tailoring your summer event to fit your company’s exact needs, maximizing the value of the event! Our event experts listen and learn about what makes your company unique allowing us to build the event that makes the most sense for you! Here are a few examples:
Family Summer Picnic
Great for companies of all sizes looking to reward their employees and their families for all the hard work throughout the year. This is a free-flowing event focused on building relationships and having a good time in the summer weather as a company outside of the office. Entertainment packages are built around each age group on the guest list so there is something fun for everyone! Interactive relays and inflatables might be included for the kids to keep them engaged and having fun while lawn games like baggo, Kan Jam and bocce are great for adults looking to relax and play with a drink in their hand. For the more active crowds sports such as volleyball and softball are included with facilitators to manage the games. All event details are scalable to match your budget, time frame, dietary preferences and more!
Employee Only Summer Outing
Perfect for companies with a younger demographic without families yet or a company on a tighter budget. Employee only events focus all the fun on the employees themselves resulting in entertainment and activities designed for adult-age participants along with great food and beverage options. Choose from events like an Evening Summer Picnic or an Elevated Happy Hour at a premier rooftop bar with activities like photobooths, DJ, Virtual Reality, pop-a-shots and more!
Scavenger Hunt
Take employee only entertainment one step further by scheduling a Scavenger Hunt around the city of Chicago! Explore the sights and sounds of Chicago while building team skills like communication, strategic planning and group problem solving. This event is one part team building, one part tour guide and all parts fun! We even send a trained guide along with every team to keep them on track and hold them accountable throughout the event. We suggest this type of event for groups that want to do a structured activity focused more on working together while still enjoying the summer weather. It is especially great for events with guests from out of town. Best of all, you have the option to end the scavenger hunt at a picnic location or rooftop bar for drinks and food to culminate the experience with leisurely mixing and mingling!
Team Challenge
Another way to maximize the value of your summer outing is to include WCF’s Team Challenge – our classic approach to team building that is a great way to boost morale and energize your team. This program is great for naturally competitive teams needing a refresh or when management has a particular message or objective they want to drive home. With the rotational structure of the competition, we ensure that everyone participates in every activity with each activity designed to target specific objectives.
City or Suburbs
For all the events noted above and more, we execute events across the city and suburbs. The location of the venue is flexible depending on where your office is located. WCF organizes picnics and events in the suburban forest preserves or at picnic grounds in the city, whichever makes the most sense for your group.
You can’t go wrong with celebrating your employees with a summer event, but you can make the most of your event by talking through your objectives with a WCF event expert!
