9 Cool Retreat Activities in Denver to Bond Your Team

4. Have a craft night at Grandma’s House

Does your grandmother’s house have local beer on tap and food trucks parked outside? Well, this one does — making it an excellent choice for a team retreat activity in Denver. This Antique Row taproom has 2,000 sq.ft. of event space available to rent for your team. There’s seating for 50+ people — including a 12-person lunchroom table — as well as a sound system and an LCD projector. Plus, there’s a 30-inch chalkboard, a dry erase board, and even a piano.

Their public events include pottery painting and foul-mouthed cross-stitching. And the best part? The beer is served in those Looney Tunes jam jars you’ll remember from your childhood! 

5. Volunteer at the GrowHaus

Despite its progressive reputation, some neighborhoods of Denver are still food deserts, which means there aren’t enough local grocery stores that residents can afford. A non-profit called the GrowHouse is working to change that, with a 20,000-sq.ft. greenhouse that produces fruits and veggies for locals of any race, class, and gender without access to fresh food.

Your team can get involved by volunteering to help with food prep, assembling produce boxes, and helping in the “Growasis,” the indoor permaculture garden. This is a great retreat activity in Denver if you’re looking for a way to give back to the community and learn some new skills.

6. Explore the Rockies with the Colorado Mountain School

Not every team is lucky enough to be so close to America’s biggest mountain range. With the Colorado Mountain School, you can explore the Rockies with professional guides. They offer a range of outdoor activities, including skiing, rock climbing, and avalanche safety training. Book one of their team building activities or their “Pinnacle of Purpose” fundraiser challenge. They also have a classroom and hostel in Estes Park, if you want to combine your adventure with indoor activities or an overnight trip.
