The benefits are well known and good team building will raise individual self-esteem and self-confidence.  It can greatly improve individual, team and organisational performance as well as Improve trust, communication and relationships and therefore overall team functioning.

TEAM CHALLENGE

One of our most popular options for groups is our team challenge event that works well both inside and outside.  Herm is a fabulous outdoor venue, Le Guet at Cobo and Grandes Rocques, Portelet or the Farmhouse hotel are great venues in Guernsey, while Les Maingys activity centre is a great option for when the weather is un-reliable. Team challenges are also available in Sark

Your group will be split into a number of smaller teams of 8 to 12 and compete against each other in a number of fun group tasks and puzzles.

The activities selected will be appropriate to your group but will be suitable for all abilities as each activity is designed to encourage participation on many different levels.

All events are scored and we will declare a winning team at the end of the event.

This events generally lasts 2 or 3 hours and costs £28 to £38 per person.

We have other options available and can custom design your event for you, if you would like to more information on the available options please email: bookings@outdoorguernsey.co.uk   or call Ant on 07781 130403

BUILDING BETTER TEAMS

This teambuilding option is suited to smaller groups or teams wishing to focus more on how teams work and individual roles within the team. We will probe deeper into the theory of teamwork and explore and develop understanding of individual roles and responsibilities and how teams  can be influenced and effected by our  behaviour and methods. 

 

Activities will be chosen from our portfolio but will be suitable for mixed groups of varying abilities and can be delivered indoors or outdoors at a venue of your choice. Our main venues are The White house in Herm, The Farmhouse in Guernsey or Rue Maingy activity centre

 

Some examples of activities are:

TEAMBUILDING ACTIVITIES FAQ'S

How many people can take part?

Teambuilding can work with vastly different sized groups, our minimum group size is 6 and our largest group to date has been 120.  We will design a program of activities to suit any sized group.

Do we have to get wet and dirty?


Not at all!  Many people like the chance to wet but many people don't.  We have a range of options including many indoor puzzles and tasks that will enable the group to achieve their goals and learn about themselves without getting muddy! 

What venue do you use?


We use Les Mainguys scout headquarters for many of our teambuilding days, but for smaller groups we can use any venue with a room big enough for the group to move around and some outside space.  For teambuilding based around  outdoor activities we can use any of our usual coastal venues.

 

Herm is also a firm favourite for team building days.
