Below are Outside's latest team building activities.

Castle Treasure Hunt

Using a giant aerial photograph of the Eastnor Castle Grounds, teams need to organise themselves and act strategically to achieve their quest to find the Castle Booty.

The clues are to be found by completing a series of exciting tasks located within the Castle grounds including giant puzzles, physical challenges (including high and low ropes), and the Castle maze.

The teams will be equipped with all necessary gadgets such as radios and hand held GPS units to assist their hunt in finding the spoils!

To succeed in this team building event, each team must demonstrate an ability to organise and think strategically as well as working cohesively as a group. Over and above all the fun, the need to communicate clearly and think logically will win the day!

Assignment 8

Assignment 8 is a covert spy operation where teams are challenged to think and act tactically and strategically to achieve their given mission; be it defusing a bomb or recovering stolen bullion.

The team building activity itself covers a broad spectrum of tasks that require individuals to focus on group performance. Identifying individual skills within the group will enable the participant's to work more effectively together on the journey to the final destination.

Along the way there will be a blend of physical and mental challenges that can include pioneering, problem solving, navigation, mountain biking, abseiling, kayaking, all cemented by the need to act in a calculated and purposeful manner, carefully managing group performance (all without having to be a trained athlete!). These challenges lead the team to a number of stashes that ultimately allow them to achieve their mission.

ASSIGNMENT8 is born from the need to Communicate, Motivate, Assimilate, Delegate, Cooperate, Initiate, Navigate, and Coordinate.

Adventure Dynamics

Adventure Dynamics is an active and insightful series of programmes that provides a catalyst to make a real and lasting change in your organisation.

It represents a new concept in team building, learning, visioning and conferencing, bringing together all the fun, challenge and exhilaration of outdoor activities with ideas from workplace psychology, communication techniques and facilitation.

In conjunction with our associates Dimensional Performance Ltd (DPL) we utilise established techniques and uniquely combine them with specific outdoor activities that fully embed the learning, creating a stronger transformation in behaviour.

Whether you're amalgamating a new team; revitalising an existing one; dealing with conflict or disenchantment; even in creating a shared corporate vision we will work alongside you to develop a programme that is tailored to your specific goal.

Express Skills Train-ing

We are confident that by attending any one of our team building activities/management courses colleagues will develop a greater understanding of each other and build relationships on mutual respect and trust.

However, this often is not enough as in the increasingly competitive world without the skills to do the job staff and businesses will still fail. Our skills programmes address this gap in combining teambuilding with short focussed sessions on important business skills.

All of our sessions are run in an interactive and memorable fashion so that the skills can be easily transferred to the work environment.

The acquisition of the skills are embedded within the overall team building activities and are all based on our ethos that the classroom should be short and focused and that the learning usable in the workplace.
