6 Outdoor Teambuilding Activiteiten

6 Outdoor Team Building Activities

Published on 30 Apr 2024 by Alex ten Klei

The best location for a team-building program is outside. No doubt. Nice sunshine, good temperature and lots of fun together. Okay, the weather doesn't always cooperate in the Netherlands, but the coming period is the best period for outdoor team building. What are the advantages?

Safe and playful environment

It ensures that everyone actively participates and consciously or unconsciously opens themselves to personal connections.

Natural leadership.

The wide variety of assignments within the activity allows participants to take the lead based on their skills and experience.

Resolving problems.

Improve critical thinking and problem-solving skills through interactive exercises that mimic real-life situations.

Improved communication.

Breakthrough standard communication barriers and improve the flow of information between team members from different departments.

Team cohesion.

Strengthen the bonds between team members and promote a sense of unity and common purpose.

Alternative program. In bad weather, we have great activities to do as an alternative so the program can always advance. Outside is often possible, but not always. You may do an activity for fun, but the safe and playful environment provides the ideal setting to improve skills, activate company culture or give back to the community.

Wat zijn de beste outdoor teambuilding activiteiten?


Outdoor team building events, an overview

  1. With our Urban Challenge, you have an ideal program that is mainly aimed at having fun together. Teams go out with a tablet and backpack and explore the environment in search of fun and diverse assignments. All photos and videos that teams take along the way are collected and summarized in a presentation that we show immediately at the end.
  2. During the Escape the Maze you have a tablet that is full of checkpoints that you visit with your team. You slowly puzzle your way back to reality.
  3. Our latest activity is about Human Skills. You discover together what these important skills are in a fun and original way and carry out assignments that match them.
  4. Let your core values come to life in a playful way through a completely customized game where all assignments are about behaviour that fits your core values. After the Values Game, you will have all kinds of videos in which your employees explain your core values.
  5. Making giving part of a team building activity creates a deeper connection between participants. At Go Give you go to a location of your choice and discover all kinds of assignments that are directly linked to a good cause.
  6. The last one in this overview is perhaps the most special. Build a complete Formula 1 racing car from cardboard together with your team. You have a clear goal, and together, you have to get the racing car ready for the grand finale within time. A real race including pit stops in which everyone participates.
