The sun, sand, and good vibes were in full swing as Staff Domain brought its summer event, “Bask n Groove: A Coachella-Themed Team Building and Summer Party 2025” to the beautiful Canyon Cove, Nasugbu, Batangas on March 8 and 9, 2025. This two-day celebration was packed with energy, fun, and unforgettable moments. It was the perfect way to connect, unwind, and embrace the spirit of summer together as a unified unit.
The Journey Begins
Staff Domain employees gathered bright and early at the Ortigas office, buzzing with excitement for the adventure ahead. Upon arrival at Canyon Cove, everyone was greeted by the stunning beachside view, setting the perfect stage for a day filled with bonding, friendly competition, and celebration.
Team Building and Summer Party: Stronger Together, Colourfully United
The event kicked off with exciting team building activities specially designed to strengthen teamwork, boost morale, and create lasting memories. The entire session was facilitated by J-Controls Outdoor Leisure Services, ensuring a well-organised and engaging experience for everyone.
To ignite the competitive spirit, employees were divided into colourful teams — Green, Purple, Blue, Red, Orange, and Yellow — and proudly wore custom–made team shirts. The burst of colours added even more fun and energy to the beachside event.
First up was the Chant competition, where each team composed and performed their own cheer—combining clever rhymes, upbeat energy, and impressive group effort to hype up their members and win the crowd’s applause. It was a lively and creative way to set the tone for a day of teamwork and fun.
Next was “The Most,” where teams nominated a member who best fit fun and quirky categories such as:
- “The Most Generous”
- “The Smallest Hands”
- “The Longest Name”
Nominees proudly embraced their titles, making everyone laugh and bringing out each person’s unique charm.
“Pass the Coin” followed. It was a fast-paced game that tested quick thinking, sharp reflexes, and team coordination as members had to work in pairs and hold a coin between their fingers. They must not drop the coin and then successfully pass it to the next pair.
Taking the action outdoors, teams went head-to-head in “Earth Ball Relay,” a game that required focus and collaboration—and the ability to ignore the scorching heat of the sun. Holding a piece of black cloth, players had to work in pairs and must keep a ball bouncing in the air. They must pass it to the next pair and successfully shoot it in a basket to earn a point. The team that has the most points wins.
Finally, teams put their creativity and resourcefulness to the test in “Mountain Stuff.” Here, teams had to build the highest structure they could, using any personal items they could find around them— from the clothes on their backs, flip-flops, caps, hats, and even random beach finds like bottles and sticks.
Everyone brought their A-game that day and the level of competitiveness was through the roof. The teams gave their best performances, and while everyone’s efforts were commendable, only one came out on top. In the end, the Orange Team emerged as the overall champion with their standout teamwork and energy. The Yellow Team came in at a strong second place, while the Blue Team proudly took third place.
It was a fun-filled morning that brought out the creativity, collaboration, and competitiveness out of everyone. But, more importantly, it brought everyone closer together.
A Feast and Chill Vibes at Our Team Building and Summer Party Event
After an active and fun-filled morning, everyone gathered at the Oceanic Function Hall for a well-deserved lunch, where great company enjoyed good food. The afternoon gave everyone a chance to relax and recharge. They had free time to enjoy the beach, swim, or simply hang out with friends and colleagues.
Bask n Groove Evening Party: Where Festival Meets Celebration
As the sun began to set, the much-awaited Coachella-themed evening party began. And it did not disappoint. Everyone arrived in style, dressed in their best festival-inspired looks, ready to dance the night away.
The party opened with warm messages from CEO Justin Pavsic and CFO Ben Rajah, both celebrating the team’s achievements and setting an upbeat tone for the night.
Live performances lit up the stage, energising the crowd from the get-go. One of the night’s most exciting moments was the OOTD Runway, where employees showed off their fab outfits, a fun and fashionable highlight that had everyone cheering.
There was no shortage of entertainment as more performances came while the delicious dinner was served. Later, the Farewell Walk of SD Summer Bodies 2024 began, giving a light-hearted nod to everyone ready for summer.
A Special Creative Corner: Customised Bracelet Station by Miracle Blossoms
Adding to the unique experiences of the day was a creative corner called “Miracle Blossoms.” It was a fun nook set up at the beach, where everyone had the chance to create beautiful, customised bracelets. This thoughtful touch allowed employees to design their own keepsakes, making personalised accessories that symbolised their experience and connections made during the event.
Whether it was a bracelet that captured a favourite colour, a word of inspiration, or simply a fun beach vibe, the Miracle Blossoms station was a hit, providing a meaningful and creative activity for everyone to enjoy and remember.
Celebrating Excellence: Q1 LEFRO Awardees
Another highlight of the night was the recognition of Staff Domain’s Q1 LEFRO Awardees, honouring individuals who exemplified the company’s core values.
