Tired of the same old games?
Looking for new and exciting team-building events?
Something to guarantee a truly memorable retreat or family reunion?

Sun Mountain Lodge does things differently.
Here's a selection of entertaining games and events to choose from.

The Wounded Pilot
Minimum: 8 people . . . . Maximum: 32 people
Team size: 4-8 people

Imagine being a member of a reconnaissance team searching for a downed pilot in enemy territory. Through a series of clues, each team is lead along the Sun Mountain trail system in search of a wounded pilot. Your team must reach the wounded pilot before the opposing team, treat him/her for possibly life-threatening injuries, and transport him to the drop point. Mental stress is added when one member of each team turns out to be a member of the opposing team - but who is it? It's the traitor's job to slow the team down so the opposing team has a chance at winning.
Group Coordinators should not share this information with the group!
$600.00 + tax for the first two teams. Must have an even number of teams.
$300.00 per additional set of teams.

~ Special arrangements can be made for larger groups ~
Includes clue set-up, take-down, bike rentals.

Group Games & Olympics
~ Appropriate for groups of 6-100 people.

Your group may choose from laughing hysterically as they and fellow colleagues master a handful of crazy relay games, intensely solve mind-bending problems, or break the code for a resort-wide scavenger hunt. A quick 20 minutes to two hours of fun and excitement can add hours of productivity and cohesion to the "team". Because these events are created specifically for each group, adding the special twist to combine high energy fun with serious problem solving is quite the norm. You let us know if your group wants some fun in the sun or needs real teambuilding and we'll create the perfect activity!

Appropriate for groups of 6-100 people.
20 minutes-1 hour: $14-$30 per person.
1-2 ½ hours: $25-$50 per person.
Varying time and price range depends on type of activity.

In the winter, all activities can be creatively catered to fit our trail system and weather conditions.

Casino Night
This night is a sure bet to win your group's excitement! Cheers at the Black Jack, Roulette, Chuck-a-Luck and Craps tables will fill the evening.
After the Pit Boss "closes the house" and the chips are counted,
cheers begin again for the auction prizes!

Minimum charge: $950 for 30 people or less.
$3,200 per 100 people.

All group activities are subject to 19% gratuity and 7.7% sales tax.
