Team building days in Scotland

Team building days in Scotland with Wilderness Adventure are an excellent choice for parties from schools, colleges and universities to develop their problem-solving, learning and leadership skills in a fun and supportive environment.

Aimed at children and young people between the ages of 9 and 18, the team building activities we provide are designed to foster confidence, self-reliance and initiative in participants, with a strong emphasis on cooperation, teamwork and communication.

Guided by our highly trained and experienced staff, the young people who take part in our team building activities come away from the experience with a far stronger sense of who they are and what they can achieve when they work in tandem with others.

Team building activities

Our team building days closely mirror the principles set out in the Curriculum for Excellence regarding the development of young people and the educational outcomes they expect and deserve.

By actively engaging young people in physically and intellectually challenging scenarios, we aim to promote:

• Critical thinking in new contexts.
• Enthusiasm and motivation for learning.
• Respect for others and for oneself.
• The importance of an active lifestyle.
• Creative thought, both independently and as part of a team.
• Good inter-personal and social skills, including clear communication and listening abilities.

Through our team building activities we believe we can change the standards of achievement that young people set for themselves, increasing their ambition and showing that they are capable of more than they may think.

As well as exciting adventure activities such as rock climbing, white water rafting and gorge walking, we also host team building days which feature a variety of games and tasks designed to encourage young people to work together to achieve a difficult but achievable goal. These activities are undertaken at a wonderful Victorian lodge set in 64 acres of land surrounded by forest, only one hour’s drive from both Glasgow and Edinburgh. The main activities are:

• High ropes course – includes Jacob’s Ladder, High Vines, Leap of Faith pole climb, Crate Climb.
• Outdoor climbing wall.
• Mini assault course.
• Paintball.

Other fun team building activities available include:

• Spiders Web.
• Hogarth’s Hut.
• Crate walk.
• Log roll.

All the tasks are designed to encourage the use of initiative for problem-solving, leadership and taking command of the situation. So no-one goes hungry, locally sourced food can be supplied on the day.

So if you know a group of young people - whether from a school, college, university, youth club or any other organisation - who you feel could benefit from the unique experience our team building activities can provide, get in touch with Wilderness Adventure to find out more about what we can offer you.
