TEAMBUILDING: Adventures in Your Backyard

You don't have to fly across the country to use the thrills and challenges of adventure racing (think kayaking, canoeing and mountain biking in scenic outdoor locales) as a teambuilding exercise for a corporate group. Schneider & Vandegrift, a firm that designs and leads adventure racing programs at resorts and parks across the country, can also scout out local spots--like Central Park--for groups who want to stay closer to home. Standard activities are hiking and orienteering, while the more extreme ones include rappelling from a 50-foot cliff. The company can also coordinate travel, accommodations and equipment rentals; prices vary by program. --Jill Musguire
