Inspired by the Power of “Play” and eager to take people to their happy place, Powerful Play Experiences is our guarantee of raising fun levels at your next team building event, staff retreat, conference or seminar. Our goal is to get employees happy to be where they are and all pulling in the same direction. When “play” is encouraged and integrated within the work community, it is received as permission for a time out from an all-too-busy world of work to regenerate and rebuild energy, and as motivation to complete the next big task. “Play” helps us to feel engaged, manage stressors, open lines of communication, and foster employee relationships...all with a heavy dose of fun and laughter. Nothing else compares!

Why simply limit fun to your next conference, staff retreat and team building event?

Powerful Play Experiences believes in an abundance of summertime fun at work.

Summertime fun at work comes in all shapes and size. We call this summertime fun at work “Happenings”- amazingly awesome special activities, small events, indoor/outdoor games - that totally re-energize and re-juevenate anyone and everyone in your workplace, create memorable experiences, and, without a doubt, strengthen friendships at work.

We know that employees tend to take their vacations in the summertime and that workplaces are busy coordinating all this staff time off. But we also know that Edmonton summers are the best time of year to get out and play, re-charge and have fun with anyone or anybody who's still busy at work, no matter what their vacation schedule is during the upcoming summer months.

So, what summertime fun is “Happening”at your workplace?
And have you lined up Powerful Play Experiences to make all your “Happenings” happen?
