TEAM BUILDING

RECREATION

HSY Corps4Health is a catalyst for team building recreational & STEM youth clubs/groups (mostly at high school or college-age levels) which bring together young people locally & globally to build lifelong friendships, advance community health and well-being through combining team building recreation with STEM4mHealth (mobile health) projects. After all, some of the best STEM projects/partnerships were dreamt up during recreational breaks!

RECREATION

Learn about interactive outdoor socially-distanced team-building recreational/social activities at your local parks that you can organize regularly with friends.

As all the examples of team-building recreational/social activities below can be socially-distanced (at least 6-8 ft apart), outdoors &/or online, independent local community health collaboratories (clubs/groups) can decide for themselves whether to make masks and vaccination optional unless required/recommended by local regulations. STEMCorps4mHealth clubs/groups featured on this site must be inclusive and accommodate those with health conditions/concerns needing social distancing, and must also always meet (or exceed) local requirements, no less. While outdoors, interactive socially distanced activities may even blend in-person and online participation (with on-site parental presence for youth <18) to increase inclusivity for those with health conditions/concerns that preclude close contact; this also applies to STEMCorps4mHealth clubs/groups convened as an extension of team building in global partnerships in STEM project clubs incorporating people-to-people interaction. Additional general & COVID-safety precautions are outlined under terms of participation in team-building recreational/social activities & project clubs/groups.
