WILDERNESS TEAM BUILDING (SURVIVAL THEME)


For a life-changing experience to motivate team spirit like nothing else on earth . .

This 6-day adventure is not a ‘run of the mill’ event along the lines of most survivor-style team-builds.  This is the real thing, where team members will learn to rely on one another as though their lives depend on it.  It is designed to bring out the best in leadership and teamwork skills in a short time-frame.  Due to this, it is an intensive adventure and not for the faint-hearted.  All activities have in-depth practical components and the manner in which they are taught is designed to encourage team spirit and morale to the utmost.
