Outdoor Team Building Activity with the Rocket Challenge

The Rocket Challenge is a hands-on outdoor team building activity where teams design, build and launch their own rocket.

Each team works through the build process together, making decisions, testing ideas and getting the rocket ready for launch. You don’t need any technical background. The format is simple to follow and easy for everyone to get involved.

The focus builds as teams move from design to construction, with a clear goal in mind. Get the rocket ready and make it perform on launch.

Then comes the key moment. Each team launches their rocket and goes head-to-head to see whose travels furthest or hits the target. It’s the part everyone watches and the part people remember.
