I happened to be the lucky intern sitting closest to the MD at the time and earned myself the task of planning/coordinating some intern events for this summer. I want to plan something where we won't hate being there but I also don't want to make my MD think "what a dumb fucking intern" when I propose it.
So naturally turning to WSO to crowdsource something that might be enjoyable and can somewhat sell as beneficial. For some background: 8 total interns, no more than two of us on a single independently operating team and around 50 people total/maybe 15 people who would be willing to speak at said events. Much appreciated, my idea of a blade to the hamptons isn't going well so far.
whats the budget max?
undisclosed, I think I wanna propose a list of ideas across the price spectrum
fun intern events i've been to
Chelsea Piers for bowling / golf..or Lucky Strike for bowling https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g60763-Activities-c56-t208-New_…</a">Escape Room Happy Hour boat cruise Brooklyn indoor shuffleboard at https://www.royalpalmsbrooklyn.com/</a">RoyalPalms was really fun...but you have to goto brooklyn Wine and Paint classes can be fun..and there are many bars that host these Axe throwing at https://www.yelp.com/biz/indoor-extreme-sports-long-island-city</a">IndoorExtremeSports would be fun...but again...Queens
Escape room sounds promising, like all things it sounds better paired with a happy hour
---------------------------
you hiring?
case race
flash dancers
dinner at Roberts Steakhouse on west 45th would be much better...
Second with the guy who said paintball, super fun.
Go Karting.
If you're really alpha, propose a happy hour first.
I did this one time with my old group (including the alcohol) and our MD ended up breaking his ribs he got slammed so hard.
The key is (if your MD is attending), look around his office and see if there is anything he had hanging on his wall or the desk.
Chelesa piers/Top Golf is a great idea if he has pictures of him golfing, but go karting might be a better idea if he has a nascar on his desk.
another awesome event would be https://spyescapeandevasion.com/training/</a">spy escape and evasion training
they do corporate events...is on the expensive side ($1500 per person)...but totally awesome.
also. https://www.monticellomotorclub.com/off-road-adventure/</a">Monticello racing track has a 300 acre off-road driving course that is $500/person for a 3 hour activity...totally awesome...2hr drive from the city
a cheaper event, but also awesome would be https://kittatinny.com/river-trips/rafting/</a">river rafting on the delaware, followed by paintball, in the catskills would be a weekend event, takes all day...2hr drive from the city...but a great bonding event..lots of fun...not too expensive...except for committing an entire day
Monticello is one of the coolest places in the trig-state area. I've been there for a few M-Track days and nothing tops it
