Outdoor Teambuilding Activities

When people think of outdoor team building, many immediately think of intense competitions requiring significant physical effort. Consider a six-camp event or other challenging activities that focus on lifting, running or climbing. These activities are great fun to do and often a great success. However, this form of team building often emphasizes physical strength, with the team with the physically strongest members usually coming out on top. This also means that you immediately exclude a large part of possible profit. It results in one winning team and several teams that are less successful. However, outdoor activities also offer a wonderful opportunity to choose an approach where cooperation and shared goals are central and where the collective determines success. Furthermore, these activities offer the perfect opportunity to go one step further and, for example, playfully integrate company values with the Values Game or to emphasize and develop important human skills.

Organizations are sometimes reluctant to book an outdoor team building program. This could be due to one of the following reasons.

  1. Weather conditions: It seems risky to plan an event that depends on good weather. However, we ensure that we always have an activity available that we can also do indoors. Outdoors is often possible, but not always. it is a nice idea that there is an alternative.
  2. Physical limitations: The idea that not everyone can participate in physically demanding activities can be daunting. To organize an inclusive event, it is important not to opt for a sporty or physically demanding program. This approach ensures that everyone can play an active role, which is crucial for strengthening the mutual bond.
  3. Cost Considerations: Organizing outdoor team building activities can seem expensive, especially for larger groups. Still, these costs represent a valuable investment in improving team dynamics and overall productivity. Especially if an inclusive outdoor program is chosen.

These points demonstrate how outdoor team building is not only feasible, but also extremely beneficial for strengthening team relationships and improving the work environment.
