Motivate your team while giving to a great cause! 

An engaged workforce is key to a successful business. Team building activities improve team morale and help develop team culture. 

Instead of a typical outing, our inclusive, on-water canoe and kayak trips are a fun activity employees will be excited to attend. An NBCB excursion is a one-of-a-kind experience giving participants unique views of Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens, while learning about the history, biodiversity, ecosystem, and revitalization efforts of New York's waterways. 

Our Team Building Paddles are lead by American Canoe Association (ACA) certified guides, capable of safely and effectively chartering groups of paddlers with varying skills and mobility.

Our trips start with an introduction on land to ease any hesitations and answer questions. After paddle and safety instructions, groups will get on the water in either sit-on-top kayaks, or in our various canoes, including the 29-foot Langley. They'll explore the Newtown Creek and parts of the East River, making stops for breaks, photos, and to observe local wildlife, including birds, oysters, fish and crustaceans.

Each individual contributes to the overall success of the adventure. The experience will sharpen group skills, communication, and problem solving. Your team will become more cohesive while building confidence on the water.
