TEAM BUILDING
Restore your soul and revitalise team spirit with a bushcraft and survival experience in the woods.
BUSHCRAFT TEAM BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT
Have a wild day of team building and development with our Bushcraft & Survival Experience, offered as a day or overnight challenge from our private woodland in Hertfordshire.
Leave the daily grind behind, along with laptops, phones and sat navs and get out into the wilderness, where under expert, qualified guidance you will discover, through individual or team challenges, if you have what it takes to survive.
THE DAY
The day can be structured to be as relaxed or as competitive as you require. Whether you a looking for a rewarding away day as recognition for a successful sales team, or a more demanding programme, where the skills taught will then be tested in a series of competitive challenges requiring teamwork, negotiation and agreement.
Bushcraft & Survival team building days can be highly customised, depending on the running time available.
​
Price is dependent on the number of participants and chosen activities.
​
​The day will not only be fun, but also fairly physical and mentally stimulating, plus challenging, in terms of listening and taking on new skills quickly, and providing plenty of opportunity for the development of resourcefulness, teamwork, delegation, leadership and rousing the competitive team spirit!.
