What sets us apart? | Team Building San Diego

We believe in infusing humor and exploring interesting places as catalysts for fostering teamwork. Even for those who may not consider themselves "game enthusiasts," the prospect of discovering a hidden gem—be it a charming coffee shop, a speakeasy, a boutique hotel, or a vibrant local shop—ignites excitement and helps colleagues loosen up, creating an environment ripe for collaboration.

In the dynamic landscape of today's workplace, team building has evolved beyond the traditional trust falls and icebreaker games. Now, more than ever, the emphasis is on the kind and quality of team building experiences. If you're searching for something truly unique and exciting for your upcoming meeting or retreat, look no further.

Tailored Experiences:
Whether you're aiming for a general team-bonding experience, a meeting energizer, or an activity designed to address specific team challenges, we customize programs to align with your goals, time frame, and budget. The key ingredient in all our team programs is FUN. Our team of dedicated professionals, fueled by a passion for enjoyment, ensures your team-building day is not only productive but also memorable.

Special Thanks To Clara Smith For Several Of The Photos. The Event is a Charity Bike Build at Park & Market in The East Village, a somewhat new event space getting rave reviews from our clients.

Creative Problem Solving:
Our activities are designed to stimulate creative problem-solving, foster new insights into group dynamics, and bring your team closer together. Through laughter and shared experiences, we create a transformative journey that leaves lasting impressions on each team member

Complete Experience:

We understand that the success of a team-building day goes beyond our specific activity. Many companies may not have a dedicated, full-time Meeting Planner at their disposal so that's where we can come in. In addition to producing your team building experience, our staff can also offer comprehensive assistance, such as Meetings logistics, transportation arrangements, catered picnics, box lunches, or off-site dinners. Our goal is to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for your team from start to finish.

Unleashing Transformation:

It's not uncommon for participants to start the day with reservations about joining in. However, within just an hour or so, we witness transformations as laughter fills the air, and high-fives become the order of the day. Our adventure-based team building experiences are not just about games; they're about unlocking the potential within each team member and cultivating a spirit of camaraderie that lasts long after the day is over.

Team building is an investment in the heart and soul of your organization. At Out of the Ordinary & our sister company Where You Want to Be, we are committed to making that investment count. Let us create the perfect day for your team—one filled with laughter, discovery, and the kind of team building that leaves everyone high-fiving and looking forward to the next adventure together.

Thank you for everything you did to make this event great! Not to mention all you did to make the event even happen in the first place.

You two were a pleasure to work with, as was the team you brought in, and I will certainly be recommending your group to others. You went above and beyond, and our entire team had an amazing experience. Love the pictures as well. Can’t wait to share the link with the team. Such a cool bonus!

I had a group of 40 professionals in La Jolla for a seminar and needed some fun activities so I found Out of the Ordinary Group & Team Adventures simply because of the catchy name! And let me tell you, their name says it all! Not only do they offer "out of the ordinary" events and excursions, they also go ABOVE and BEYOND to give everyone a wonderful experience! The best part for me as a Meeting Planner was, instead of using separate vendors for all our activities, we were able to use Out of the Ordinary for all 3!!! We did the Sip n' Score games at our Welcome Reception, the Wellness Walk through La Jolla with breathtaking views and for our team building we did the Bike Build Charity Give Back and were able to donate the finished bikes to a wonderful local organization, It's All About the Kids, just in time for Christmas! Thank you Darlynne, Marc and the entire team at Out of the Ordinary for all your help!

First and foremost just wanted to say THANK YOU both for such a fun-filled experience on our scavenger hunt.

They all loved it ...What a great time spent together – and that is what it’s all about. Getting to know each other better and having some fun and laughs along the way. Still can’t get over Jason singing that song..haha.

Thank you again, I admire you both so much and can’t wait to partner up again hopefully in the first quarter to do something on a bigger scale with the entire hotel team.

Wishing you and Marc Happy Holidays and thank you for brightening up everyone’s day! You have my dream job!!!!!

As someone who has planned many team building and corporate events, I have to say that hands down, Out of the Ordinary takes the spotlight on professionalism, reliability and delivering an unforgettable experience. When I was tasked to plan a team building/holiday party in less than 4 weeks, I was so relieved to be working with a company that really has it together! Marc & Darlynne are so enthusiastic and really know how to think outside of the ordinary with every detail. I am so used to the behind the scenes chaos that typically plays out on the day of an event, but OOA's team was so polished and calm. Definitely a relief! I was even able to enjoy the event myself and participate as a guest.

We booked the urban scavenger hunt at Balboa Park, in San Diego, for a company gathering and we had a great time!
Darlynne and the other guides were very helpful, guiding us through the park and giving us clues when needed without influencing the game. We all feel that we know better the city we live in, and we received great feedbacks from our whole team, so I can say that it was a lot of fun. Liana G

Darlynne and her husband Marc did a great job with a video coaching session for how to best present on Zoom. The content was customized to our audience with pre-questions from Darlynne. I would recommend her for this type of training if your organization can benefit in these days of working virtually.

My work team did an Outrigger Canoe Challenge recently and everyone enjoyed the event! It was fun and exciting and really helped to bring the team together to enjoy the day outside of your typical working environment. The staff was very friendly, professional and attentive and everything was set up and coordinated perfectly. They made everything super easy from the 1st phone call to the actual event!

Chelsea B. High Tech Elementary

Our school, High Tech Elementary Chula Vista, did The Amazing Race scavenger hunt with Out of the Ordinary and had a blast! They were very professional, organized and fun! We just got to sit back and enjoy. I would highly recommend them for group building activities.

We always have fun with Out of the Ordinary! I know San Diego is in our future and I will always keep you in mind.

Just wanted to thank you, Marc and your entire team once again. From the beginning of our talks to the end, it was a great experience. You made us look good. Thank you!
