Question ID: 721432
Hi, 
I am looking for Team Building Activities in San Francisco Bay Area.
Some of the ideas are:
-- cooking class
-- go-cart racing
-- sailing
-- bowling/boccia
-- wine tasting
-- horseback riding
-- painting/photography/film class
However, other ideas are welcome!

I would like to get URL, contact information a short description and
an estimated price/person (or group) of the facility or provider.
It can be anywhere within one our driving of san francisco
(approximately 50 miles radius).  I would like to get at least 20
recommendations.

Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 21 Apr 2006 12:33 PDT
Hello thomasksf-ga,

I will be happy to find 20 Bay Area team building organizations for
you. My preliminary search shows that the content and contact
information is readily available. Is it sufficient to give you the
link to the Contact page for each company? Getting pricing information
is not so simple since there are too many variables in the packages
offered.

Considering the price of your question, I suggest that I provide you
with the URL, the description and the link to the Contact page and
omit the pricing portion of your question.

Let me know if this will work for you. Thanks.

Hi czh -

Yes, only giving the URL of the contact information with a brief
description is ok. Also, any indicators of price of the activity would
be much appreciated, but is not a 'must'.

Hello again thomasksf-ga,

This was a fun and interesting search. There is a tremendous variety
of team building programs offered in the San Francisco Bay Area. In
addition to standard packages, most of the companies I?ve found will
also create custom programs for you. Many of these organizations are
also very flexible about offering their programs in a variety of
settings and locations.

Wishing you well for your team building!

Why Team Building?
Modern Sailing Academy?s Solution

The Modern Sailing Academy offers a unique team building event
designed to obtain these results. The method we choose to build a
strong team is sailboat racing. This is the reason. The skills and
teamwork needed to race a boat parallel those found in ssuccessful
businesses. Both require strong problem solving, communication and
team effort to achieve success. Sailing is a fun; safe and
exhilarating way to for companies to build positive employee relations
that carry over long after the event has ended. And no prior sailing
experience is needed.
