July team-building activities in New York for your employees
These team-building activities are just the thing to bring you into midsummer in New York City and celebrate the holidays that July has to offer.
Independence Day: July 4th marks the day Americans became independent of British rule, and the U.S. became its own nation. Fireworks, grilled food, and the red, white, and blue fill the air in joyful celebration.
Independence Day activity: Celebrate Independence Day with a pop-up golf experience. A real golf pro provides lessons while you and your crew practice your swing on a state-of-the-art golf simulator, or you can compete with each other in a structured contest of skill. This 3-hour event includes golf clubs and golf balls.
World Chocolate Day: If there’s one edible that deserves its own worldwide holiday, it’s chocolate! On July 7th, this international day of celebration commemorates the introduction of chocolate to Europe in 1550.
World Chocolate Day activity: What better way to celebrate chocolate than with chocolate? Treat your workplace to the classic chocolate-making challenge. Learn to create delicious treats and decorate your delectables. Plus, you get to enjoy some yummy chocolate tasting while you learn.
National Intern Day: The last Thursday in July – July 28th this year – is National Intern Day. The nation created this day in 2017 to acknowledge the meaningful contributions interns give to their organizations throughout the year.
National Intern Day activity: Give your crew a fun way to blow off some steam away from the workplace with a bowling night. The Red Carpet package offered on Thriver gives you a 3-hour open bar, 2 hours of bowling – with lane-side service – and several menu choices to enjoy on your night out.
