We are trying to plan a team captain kick off next week, but i am not sure what the ratio of education and mingling should be.  i want people to come, have a nice time, get excited about Relay but I don't want it to be a sit down structured event. 

 

Casual.

 

Any suggestions?

 

So far we have a place for it to happen, we have gotten the word out, we have decorations and information to hand out...and music...but what should I do there as the Team Chair to reach them all without making them sit down and shut up?  hahaha

 we are expecting roughly 50 people at the event.

Thanks for any input.

mini relay
What about making it an interactive meeting?  It has to be somewhat informational, but make contests or games to get the team captains involved.  Try even having a mini Relay for the captains to particpate in.  Give them examples of campsites and fundraisers.  I totally understand the need to involve the team captains.  We are trying a mock Relay this year to see if the team captains enjoy it :)
