Foster teambuilding in the setting of a historic oyster cannery.
Looking for ways to foster a more cohesive, connected, and productive work environment? A team-building activity may be the answer, and the Baltimore Museum of Industry can provide a unique experience for your colleagues with one-of-a-kind participatory team-building activities and distinctive tours and demonstrations.
Larger groups may choose to schedule both a Cannery activity and a Tour, so the group can rotate through both.
