A list of 96 names for a team retreat, an offsite, a kickoff, a workshop, a volunteer day, an outing or a team lunch, written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-03 and filed in five groups. They are names for the day, not for the team, and each carries a word for the kind of day it is. Some say the kind of place or the activity (a ballpark, a zoo, a marshmallow tower); none carries the name of a venue, and none was taken from a program, a company, a conference or a show; any match with an event somebody else runs is a coincidence. The names are our own suggestions in the everyday words of the subject, and nothing on the page is a fact to look up, so no outside source was used. Each name of two or more words was searched on English Wikipedia the same day, and the .com and .org address of each name was asked for as well. A name we coined that turned out to be a title, a band, a company, an event or a real group was taken out; an everyday saying or a plain term was kept. Plain words are shared widely, so somebody somewhere may already use one of these names. Compared by script on 2026-10-03 with every other list on this site: no name is repeated. Nothing was checked against a trademark register. Licence: own work
