Summer Team Building Activities: Creative Ideas to Take Outside
With the arrival of warmer weather and sunny days, there’s no better opportunity to take your team outdoors.
Outdoor team building activities are a fantastic way to boost energy, foster connection, and make the most of nature’s benefits. At Rock and Roll Experience, many of our most in-demand events are just as impactful outside—even though they’re often thought of as indoor-only experiences.
As the weather warms up and the sun starts shining, it’s the perfect time to move your team events outdoors. Summer team building activities offer a refreshing break from the usual routine and bring a whole new dynamic to your workplace culture.
Why Take Team Building Outdoors?
Getting outside isn’t just about the change of scenery. Natural light, fresh air, and open space have a powerful impact on mood and collaboration. Outdoor settings help people relax, connect more easily, and adopt a positive mindset—leading to better engagement and stronger results.
Rock and Roll Choir – Uplifting and Effortless
Our Rock and Roll Choir session is one of the most uplifting team experiences we offer—and it works brilliantly in the open air. All we need is a portable speaker and a bit of outdoor space. Singing together surrounded by nature not only sounds amazing, it also enhances group connection and promotes wellbeing.
Dance, Create, and Perform – No Stage Needed
Want to get your team moving? Our Thriller dance workshop and Make a Music Video activity are ideal for outdoor spaces. Whether it’s a park, courtyard, or garden, these high-energy sessions need only a speaker and some room to move. Nature adds the perfect creative backdrop, giving your team’s performance a fun and memorable edge.
Drumming and Guitar Building – Bigger Beats Outdoors
Outdoor acoustics make our African and samba drumming workshops even more energising. The rhythms carry beautifully in the open, creating an instant buzz. Our Charity Guitar Build is also a fantastic fit for gardens, terraces, or lawns—each team gets space to build, collaborate, and give back, all in one rewarding experience.
Creative Workshops That Flourish Outside
Looking for something a little more relaxed? Our Caricature and Magic Workshops thrive in informal outdoor settings. These activities encourage creativity, laughter, and shared moments—perfect for team bonding in a sunny, stress-free environment.
Explore the area with a GPS scavenger hunt

Our Rock and Roll scavenger hunt sends you and your team around the local area using your smartphones and our custom app. They will be will be tasked with completing 20 challenging rounds.
