Sacramento Team Building Events
Sacramento has long been under-rated as a conference destination, and has plenty of venues supporting a successful and affordable Sacramento team building event. Since 1983, Venture Up has provided team building activities in Sacramento, northern California, mainly in San Francisco and Lake Tahoe, where conference fees run high. Sacramento is smack between these cities and has luxury hotels, lush public grounds and waterways rivaling any conference destination in the U.S. It’s easy to be in the shadows in the great state of California. The good news is that Sacramento is still a well-kept secret, and still far more affordable than many California destinations. (Southwest flies here too!)
Since 1983, Venture Up has recorded more than 500,000 participants in its team building events, Sacramento included. We owe our California clients and conference visitors much for helping us be a success, and the leading provider of team building activities. We work with groups of all shapes and sizes, and focus on diversity and inclusion in building team relationships.
