3 Team Building Activities in San Diego for summer

Summer in San Diego is the perfect time to get your team out of the office and into the sunshine for a fun painting event. Whether you're aiming to build camaraderie, celebrate a win, or simply reconnect with coworkers, these three activities blend art, outdoor fun, and summer vibes—ideal for corporate groups!

1. Outdoor Paint Parties – Add a Luxury Picnic Experience
​
Imagine your team gathered by the ocean, painting while surrounded by stylish boho décor and a delicious charcuterie board. We partner with one of San Diego’s top luxury picnic companies to bring you art-filled team bonding with elevated comfort and style.

Set up in scenic spots like Mission Bay, La Jolla, Encinitas—or even a private backyard—your team can relax, enjoy a catered picnic, and create personal works of art with guidance from a professional artist. It’s team building that feels like a celebration!

• Casual, open-air setting encourages connection
• Creative expression builds confidence and communication
• Instagram-worthy moments boost company culture visibility

2. Beach-Themed Canvas Painting with Personalized Features
​
Bring the beach vibe to any location with a guided painting activity centered around coastal-inspired artwork. Each participant receives a 12x16 canvas and follows step-by-step instructions to create a sunny scene—think ocean waves, palm trees, or footprints in the sand.

To make the experience more personal, team members are encouraged to add meaningful touches like affirmations, values, or encouraging words—just like messages written in the sand. It’s a relaxed, creative way to celebrate the season and strengthen team connections.
​

• No beach required—this theme brings summer to any space
• Structured creativity combines guided painting with personal expression
• Everyone leaves with a unique, beachy canvas to take home or display at work
