Adventurous Activities that bring people together
We use outdoor adventures to build relationships and form teams. Embracing the stunning natural environment around us we create days to connect your team together
We believe in the power of positive engaging outdoor experiences and embrace the surrounding landscape through all our activities.
Interactive and hands on, outdoor activities break down barriers and create fun and powerful memories. We support everyone to participate, involve the group with safety management and with learning new skills, as part of the experience.
All our programmes start with you, your group and your aims.
Our corporate programmes are designed with you so that we create the right experience for your team. We focus on who you are, how you want your day to be and what you are hoping to achieve. We know and love our local landscape and activities, and have a flexible and creative approach so we can really tailor your day.
We have the experience that enables us to incorporate your company’s values and other models of personality, teamwork and leadership.
If appropriate we can actively facilitate learning and development conversations as part of the experience. Your company values or behaviours can form the structure to these reviews allowing your team to discuss and practice the challenges and benefits of actually living up to these standards.
