You know what Labor Day means—back to school, back to work...and finally buying that much-coveted Core77 Conference ticket, of course! In honor of our conference's co-creation theme, here's a list of activities to help promote some good ol' American group bonding this Labor Day Weekend. Back away from that flat screen TV and get co-creating!

8. Go-Karts are so 2002—Build your own Cooler-Scooter and host a Cooler Scooter Race. It doesn't get more American than this. Pro-tip: carry booze to your destination inside of your scooter, but avoid drinking and scooting.

7. Channel the energy and teamwork of this Pyrotechnics group. It's time to make up for your 4th of July fireworks fail—no dogs allowed this time.

3. During an intense sand castle competition, surprise your competitors with an abstract sand sculpture instead of a typical castle. Your design will look so artistic, no-one will know you free-formed the entire design process. 

2. Kindle your camping fire with Doritos and use the leftovers for walking tacos. The fact that these "cheesy" chips can start fires is alarming, but they still taste darn good with taco meat.

1. Set up an epic walking taco bar on this massive farmhouse table or collaborate on delicious eats at a backyard communal BBQ party.

When co-creating with family and friends, remember that things can get a little heated. During competitions and group bonding activities, remind yourselves to enjoy the holiday weekend and the time you're spending together.
