Team building using bushcraft survival activities

Organisations today face unprecedented change, and to survive, good team work is essential. Our bushcraft survival challenge provides a new perspective on how your team operates. How will your team rise to the challenge of surviving in the wild? Fire lighting, shelter building and finding water may not be part of their job descriptions, but solving these challenges together provides a fun and practical way to increase team effectiveness.

Our events give you a breath of fresh air, away from the office. They are held in beautiful ancient woodland in Sussex or a location suitable to you. By taking your team out of its normal “comfort zone” you will see the group dynamics in a new light. After an exciting and refreshing time spent learning new skills, your team can return better equipped to survive in today's corporate "jungle".

Tailored Programmes

We tailor each programme to fit your needs. We will discuss your business objectives, team issues and how easy or challenging you wish the experience to be! We can provide individual days or longer courses, including overnight survival in shelters. The basic programme is designed for teams who are looking for a fun day or weekend out, with the opportunity for bonding and team working. If you have particular team issues or are looking for a more dedicated team-building programme we can certainly help. In these cases we work in partnership with a team development expert. Please enquire for more details if this is of interest.

Broad objectives of a session:

• Improving your ability to work together to solve common goals
• Building cameraderie and team bonding
• Getting to know each other better
• Having a fun and rewarding learning experience

Client quotes:

“Propellernet were looking for a company day out where the teams could get to know each other better and have some fun in the process. Leon delivered an amazing day for us. Everything was perfect, great venue, amazing food, songs round the camp fire, cheering on the raft riders across the lake, learning about the evil yew tree, eating wood sorrel, building and then sleeping in shelters. You can’t beat this for a team day out that ticks all the boxes. Thanks Leon, awesome” - Jack Hubbard, Managing Director, Propellernet

Thanks again for a profitable exercise!" - Carlos Amaya-Torres, Company Director
