What Is a Reasonable Team Building Budget Per Person?

$200–$350 per person is a realistic budget for a facilitated half-day team building program in Edmonton or Calgary with catering included. Below $150 per person, the options narrow to self-facilitated formats without professional program design.


The per-person metric hides the fixed-cost structure. A half-day program for 25 people at $280 per person ($7,000 total) and a half-day for 60 people at $210 per person ($12,600 total) may involve the same format — the fixed costs spread across more people in the larger group.

What a per-person budget does not include unless explicitly stated: photography ($1,500–$3,000 flat) and transportation if the program is at an off-site location.

Common questions

A facilitated half-day program for 20 people in Edmonton costs approximately $5,000–$7,500 all-in — activity, venue hire, and catering. Below 20 people, per-person cost increases because fixed costs stay the same.
