Our outdoor activities are built by racing experts to maximize teambuilding in ways you won’t find at the office.

Take your team on an exhilarating race through VIR’s innovative Kart Track! Drive in top-of-the-line karts running ungoverned Honda GX 270cc motors at speeds above 50 mph through dynamic twists and turns on VIR’s 5/8 mile, 24-foot-wide paved circuit. This memorable experience full of the spirit of competition and authentic team-bonding will have your team talking about it in the office for years to come.

Roam the woods of VIR in the premium fleet of all-terrain vehicles climbing hills, treading through water, and maneuvering through trees. Whether you are riding along or driving your group out, the thrill of the ever-changing adventure remains! Experience the spirit of adventure in the natural beauty of VIR.​

Experience the serene Virginia countryside with this off-road trucks package! After a Hood Brief style class, your team will learn about 4×4 theories and recovery gear to prepare to take on an obstacle course. Wrap up the day with a cross-country trail drive, where you will experience the breathtaking landscapes of VIR.​

Team-Building Activities

Explore some of the most unique and memorable team building activities corporate retreats have to offer at VIR.

silver car on VIR's Skid Pad for Autocross

Prepare to drive through an action-packed challenge course straight out of a movie at VIR’s Autocross circuit! Participants will put their teamwork skills to the test as pairs either take the driver’s seat or exercise their communication skills as a passenger. The driver is blinded with blackout goggles, and their passenger plays a crucial role as navigator. This challenging team-building mission was derived from a real military personnel and asset recovery mission during the Battle of Mogadishu, as seen in the movie Black Hawk Down! ​

Experience an exhilarating one-day driving package at VIRiginia International Raceway’s renowned courses. This unique package includes cone drills, close proximity driving, door handle to door handle or bumper to bumper, a timed competition, and more high-energy activities designed to strengthen team dynamics and experience a thrilling driving activity like no other.​

Step outside of your team’s comfort zone and experience our Land Navigation team activity! Designed to push participants outside of their comfort zones by placing those typically in leadership roles into subordinate roles with the purpose of strengthening teamwork and communication up and down the leadership ladder. This activity starts with a fundamental overview of instruction by highly experienced US military members, then teams will depart to locate a series of checkpoints to get to their destination. Along the way, team members may be encountered by simulated events that will require them to designate new leadership. Take away stronger team cohesion, enhanced problem-solving skills, and individual leadership development from VIR’s Land Navigation activity to be implemented into the office. ​

VIR understands that life can take a turn unexpected, and your team should be prepared to handle whatever is thrown their way. In our Medical & Situational Awareness team activity, your team will spend time in the classroom learning and preparing for some of life’s craziest situations to then meet with instructors with backgrounds in Navy Seals and Special Ops to then test your team’s knowledge and communication with real life scenarios. Your team will take away knowledge that will not only strengthen them professionally, but also personally in their day-to-day lives. ​

Sport Shooting Activities

Experience VIR sport shooting activities including long range shooting, the Machine Gun experience, skeet shooting, and even paintball! Leap out of your comfort zone through practicing on 500-1000 yard ranges, tactical drills, or new skills. Professional instructors are available to ensure the safety of all participants.

Designed to build individual confidence, the VIR Shooting Experience is a great option for groups looking to get out of their comfort zones. Each student will fire up to 200 rounds of ammunition and will learn techniques to hit steel targets safely. Extended time and courses can be arranged at an addition cost. Custom pricing available if participants bring their own gun. ​

Practice focus and attention to detail with our long-range shooting experience. Participants will learn various factors that affect a bullet’s flight and how to account for them. Knowledge will be put to the test in a software simulation program where you get your choice of four custom-built, high power .308 rifles (including one with a silencer) to blast away steel targets from 500 to 1000 yards. The Range master will provide assistance to help targeting. ​

The VIR Machine Gun Experience is designed to enhance teamwork through familiarizing participants with fully-automatic weapons. Our experienced range master will present and fire each weapon, then allow each participant to do the same. Participants will then engage in the Machine Gun Fire and Maneuver event, working together to shoot targets. ​

Put your group’s teamwork to the test with a game of Paintball! Capture the flag style or force on force action, our paintball experience is like no other. This activity can be conducted rain or shine, inside or outside. Please note we suggest you wear loose fitted clothing and comfortable shoes that you do not mind getting paint on.​
