OUTDOOR SUMMER EVENTS for 2007

Something Old and Something New

We are bringing back some favorites this Summer including "The Incredible Race"©, "The Wacky Olympics"© and the hysterical, medieval picnic "The Tourney"© Your teams will participate in such crazy games as the Jousting Match, the William Tell competition and the Dungeons of Rat Trap! We also have some new events this Summer including a scavenger hunt like you have never experienced before, "The DaVinci Hunt"© Some of your group will be on teams hunting for DaVinci's treasure, but a few will be members of a team of Monks whose only mission is to sabotage the other teams and get the treasure for themselves. Are you up for it?
Give your group a fun and truly unique Summer outing!


FEATURED INDOOR TEAM BUILDING EVENT
Spy School©
There are many knock offs out there but this is the original, world famous Spy School© and no one else has this one. It has been performed in Europe, Australia, Canada and from coast to coast throughout the US. As a matter of fact, Spy School© has been facilitated for the US military and several US Intelligence agencies. We'd tell you which ones but we'd have to kill you.

Spy School

The Theme:
A competitive game of espionage where everyone gets to play James Bond or Mata Hari. Your group works in teams of spies to save the world. Every spy exercise requires a different set of skills and every exercise teaches them something new about themselves and each other.

Primary Benefit:
Fun! Very effective for ice-breaking and fostering creative teamwork. This team builder is highly involving and motivating. All participants interact with one another in this high energy, fun-filled game. No wonder Spy School© continues to be our single most popular corporate team builder. It's a great way for teams to bond… James Bond.

So, do you think you're ready for spy school?

Flying Ants & Grasshoppers Outreach Program

The Ant and the Grasshopper would like to give back to the community. We are sending out our entertainers to visit Senior Care Facilities and share a little music and laughter. We call our Outreach program, "The Flying Ants and Grasshoppers".

Currently we are only offering this Outreach Program in the New England area where we are headquartered but as we grow we will expand this program. This is funded by The Ant & the Grasshopper, LLC. There is no charge for this service.

Do you know of a Senior Care Facility who might appreciate what we have to offer? Please let us know.

RECORD BREAKERS

Congratulations to Janssen Pharmaceutica! They have been entered in the Ant & the Grasshopper Book of Records when one of their teams was the second ever to successfully complete a Fast Forward on our "Incredible Race".
One team came back with a photo of their entire team with the Mayor of Providence as well as all the other requirements for the Fast Forward proving they have what it takes to succeed. Well done team!

Another team came back with a photo of "Sopranos" celebrity Joe Pantoliano. Read all about it in our upcoming Newsletter.
