For Best Results, Educate and Entertain Summer Interns
Summer. School’s out, and interns are in. Ask anyone in HR–if your interns leave with a positive impression of your corporation and with the feeling that their hours spent with you were worthwhile…the dividends in positive PR are priceless. WCF Events has several great ideas to make your interns’ summer experience the best it can be–for both of you!
5 Summer Intern Events
Scavenger Hunts–These are a WCF Events specialty. We can tailor a hunt to any city and any business. It’s a great way to give your interns a whirlwind tour of the best your hometown has to offer while they learn about working as a team. This is an especially good choice at the beginning of the summer, when everyone is in that “getting to know you” mindset and a perfect way to introduce out of town interns to the city!
Team Challenge–The professional development focused Team Challenge is high energy, skill building and fun. It can be held indoors or outside making it the most flexible option that can be added onto a meeting or run as a stand alone event. The experts at WCF have unlimited choices for challenge events: Team Challenge, MiniGames, “Cake Boss”-style cooking competitions, Escape Room scenarios, Olympic sports-themed events…anything is possible! And the best part is everyone will learn better communication skills, the importance of acknowledging different perspectives, group problem solving and so much more!
Charitable Events–Show interns that your business is committed to giving back to the community; not just in words but in deeds! Stuff teddy bears or build bikes for kids in the community, assemble care packages for our troops overseas, gather nonperishables for a food bank–WCF Events can tailor a “give-back” opportunity to benefit the causes that align most closely with your corporate mission.
Pub Trivia–This is an event that really lends itself to the latter part of an intern’s visit. WCF Events can customize a trivia contest that highlights which team or individual intern has learned the most. Questions can focus on your industry or your company, their coworkers or your neighborhood…lots of fun possibilities here!
Summer Outing–The perfect end of summer event that is the perfect way to celebrate all the hard work your interns have given you! It culminates the great experience your corporate team has given them by enjoying good food, drinks and activities at an outdoor party! Consider a rooftop reception with a view, a relaxing brunch in the park or go classic with an outdoor summer picnic.
