We strive to design, develop, and execute an incentive travel experience
that is flexible, responsive, innovative, creative and customer service
oriented, no matter the size of your group. Our travel facilitators offer
extraordinarily friendly, personalized attention, while providing the Western
Canadian market knowledge necessary to ensure that you and your guests receive
an experience that will be remembered and valued for years to come. Exceptional
service and quality product are always priorities at Home On The
Range Adventure Tours.
The question has often been asked, “Why does our company want to use incentive travel?” At Home On The Range Adventure Tours we believe that there is no better way to reward clients or employees for exceptional sales and customer satisfaction results than to provide them with an extraordinary travel experience. Travel incentives are a proven way to motivate employees and enhance performance. As well, people will work hard to earn the reward, and those who travel together invariability become friends because they get to know each other better in a relaxed environment. And, always keep in mind that motivated, well rewarded employees and customers are easier to retain. This helps to ensure future high levels of performance and results.
The
first step on the road to creating a successful and memorable incentive
travel program for you is the time Home On The Range Adventure Tours
spends listening to your requirements and developing an understanding of
your objectives. Then we work with you to personally design every aspect
of a program that addresses your needs throughout each step of the itinerary.
Furthermore, we have a representative available to cater to your individual requirements, providing attention to detail and exceptional service, not only throughout the design and development of your personalized incentive travel program, but also during the implementation. Our primary concern is your satisfaction and the satisfaction of your guests. No aspect of your incentive travel program is too big or too small for us to manage in creating a uniquely memorable experience.
To ensure that we provide you with the most innovative, motivational and memorable incentive travel experience Home On The Range Adventure Tours can manage all aspects of your program. This includes:

On The Range Adventure Tours, a Calgary-based tour operator, has
added one of the west’s most exhilarating experiences to its repertoire
of Incentive Travel options. The ranchers of southern Alberta move their
cattle into, between or out of pastures at various times during the year.
Incentive Travel groups can now join one of these authentic CATTLE DRIVE
expeditions.
IMAGINE your group of up to 30 people spending two days herding cattle across the rolling countryside of the Porcupine Hills. Your group of ‘cattle wranglers’ will eat out on the trail, spend the night in a trail camp under the stars, savour BBQ Alberta beef for dinner and enjoy cowboy poets, traditional western entertainment and stories of the west around the campfire.
The group will be accompanied by highly experienced working cowboys who see that you get the most from the experience while receiving the best of care and attention. And, what’s even better, is that the participants do not require riding experience; novices are welcome as well as seasoned riders. This western experience adventure is designed for corporate groups looking to explore the uniquely authentic flavour of the traditional west.
Home
On The Range Adventure Tours delivers personal and corporate western
experiences throughout Alberta and the Rocky Mountains. We offer customized
itineraries that include Incentive Travel and Team Building programs. An
abundance of additional suggestions and ideas are available on this page
under the Additional Incentive Travel Activities.
The Incentive Cattle Drive may be only two days in a group’s total program, however, Home On The Range Adventure Tours’ knowledge of the area and their broad range and variety of Corporate Team Building programs can be utilized to develop a complete itinerary for any group.

The
best way for your group to enjoy a Wild West Rodeo is to see it UP CLOSE.
And the best way to accomplish that is to host a private demonstration rodeo
exclusively for your group! We will deliver your private Wild West Rodeo
at various locations throughout Alberta. Your group has the grandstand to
themselves as they are treated to their very own multi-event rodeo. At the
rodeo, they will experience the adrenalin rush of the cowboys' eternal battle
to overcome the raw power of the untamed animals of the west. They will
feel the exhilaration and excitement of watching bucking broncos, bull riders,
steer wrestlers, calf ropers, and barrel racers. This private Wild West
Rodeo runs for approximately one hour, and is especially effective when
combined with a chili and/or BBQ hamburger lunch, or followed by a complete
BBQ dinner.

The
first day starts with a meet and greet plus an in- depth information session
to help participants understand the animals in the area and reduce the apprehension
associated with camping and hiking in bear country. With education comes
understanding and ease which makes the outdoor experience a pleasant one.
Then you:
Lace up your hiking boots for a two hour trail walk through the wilderness to Trapper’s Hill Camp where you will spend the next two nights. Your guides will share the history of the area, and you can soak up the panoramic beauty and scenic look-offs of this majestic Rocky Mountain paradise.
Climb aboard your personally assigned horse for your journey to Trapper’s Hill Camp. Your horseback trail ride provides the opportunity to enjoy a taste of the back country and share this memorable Rocky Mountain experience with your tour companions.
This afternoon participants will take part in a team building program that challenges their skills as 19th century Métis Trappers.
The Challenge: The group will be shown a series of Bushcraft lessons that will enable them to complete certain elements of required tasks. These lessons are based on traditional survival/primitive skills practiced by Métis trappers in the 1800’s. There will then be a competition between teams where they will complete six tasks. Each of the tasks, if performed successfully, will earn the team a reward that will contribute toward their becoming the winning team. Teams must be vigilant once they receive a reward, as they could potentially lose it at the next task! Various challenges will be thrown at each team to test their ability to work together as a cohesive unit.
The second day is dedicated to many of the traditional Bush-craft skills (i.e. make your own moccasins – to take home) used by both the Aboriginal people and those first European explorers that came to make a home in Canada. Your guides help to empower the participants with skills that create a sense of independence and self-reliance for any future camping trips or ventures into the back country. Fire making, shelter construction, rope making skills, and making a container from natural resources are just some of the skills that will increase everyone’s self-confidence in the outdoors. The fire making sessions cover a wide variety of ways to start fires, the different uses for fire such as fires for cooking, signal fires and fires for warmth and how each one is built differently.
On
the third day guests are taken on a hike offering either an easy or slightly
more strenuous option. Walks become miniature voyages of discovery, for
example; we find certain plants and discuss their value as medicines, food
or hard-wear. Skills in tracking both humans and animals are learned &
practiced while observing the surrounding animal habitat and how we, as
humans, should "walk softly". For those who have a keen interest
in learning to map read, instructors will teach some basics as well as demonstrating
how not to get lost in the woods. Or perhaps just a chance to enjoy the
sights. Depending on the hiking option; pristine waterfalls, vistas of the
valley from stunning view points, peaceful streams and rivers meandering
through the valley floor and of course the majestic peaks of the snow capped
Rocky Mountains are a few of the highlights.
