Build a Miniature Golf Course
Build a Miniature Golf Course
The “Build a Miniature Golf Course” activity is a team-building and charitable event where participants create a mini-golf hole from food products and various building materials, later donated to a local Food Bank. Teams engage in design and construction, culminating in a mini-golf tournament to determine the best scores, with specific roles for competing and scoring. The event includes all necessary supplies, coordination with a charity, an MC, and staff support, concluding with awards for low scores and best design. This unique challenge not only fosters teamwork and creativity but also contributes to a meaningful cause, making it an ideal corporate “Give Back” initiative.
