Spread Your Wings: Add some feathered partners to your next team-building experience at the Ohio School of Falconry in Columbus. Falconry helps your group better understand high-trust relationships and how they can positively impact productivity. Put those skills in action as the hawks, owls and falcons are turned loose from your arm in a simulated hunt. 7925 N. High St., Columbus 43235, 614/312-5004, ohioschooloffalconry.com

Wild West: Take a trip back to the Old West at Dogwood Pass in Beaver. Bring your own cowboy hats and boots and pretend you're a cowboy or cowgirl for a few hours to explore this Western-themed town. Enjoy live, immersive shows with period actors, "gunfire" and live animals. Be sure not to get caught in one of the "shootouts" or sent to "jail." 726 Adams Rd. Beaver 45613, 740/835-1130

Un-Fore-Gettable Fun: Bring your group to play the golf courses on the Penn Ohio Golf Trail. At night, retreat to the Pine Lakes Golf Club in Hubbard that features catered dinner options and a full breakfast in the morning. After a day of golfing, play pool or relax in the mansion. 6233 W. Liberty St., Hubbard 44425, 330/534-9026, golfpinelakes.com

Take Flight: Take your team bonding to new heights at iFLY in Cincinnati. Indoor skydiving will test and strengthen your group’s relationship. Put on your flight suit and your instructor will be there to help you step into the wind tunnel and let the wind take you up to experience flight. These are conference photos guaranteed to be shared! 7689 Warehouse Row, Liberty Township 45069, 513/901-4359, iflyworld.com/cincinnati

A-Maize-Ing Time: Work together to solve the scavenger hunt and escape a maze every fall at Wheeler Farms in Whitehouse. Team up to find all 24 hidden checkpoints within the tall stalks of corn.
