Most team building events take place at hotels, but what if you want to do something really different?
The event in the photograph was for a London media company who came down to the New Forest for the weekend and stayed in authentic tipis. These are great fun and comfortably sleep six people.
A catering company was brought in and good food was laid on with a bar. The experience included a camp fire and our Hunt The New Forest Beast activity.
A wild eyed local visted the camp on the first night and told stories of a terrible beast which roamed those parts. Campers were advised not to stray too far from camp.
The next day the teams head off on a treasure hunt style event where the challenge is to track down The New Forest Beast. This event is great fun and really gives people the opportunity to have a memorable and enjoyable experience together.
The campsite that we use has proper toilets and showers, so it’s not too basic and while not the same as a hotel makes up for it in fun what you lose in luxury.
The New Forest is a great location for this event but there are campsites around the UK and even in London, so there are options everywhere.

The latest new fun team building activity is Dragon Dancing, created to mark and celebrate The Chinese New Year on February 14th. 2010 is the Year of The Tiger, a positive symbol which carries the motto “I win”.
Teams are given a large selection of materials and have two hours to make their own unique dragon and practice an entertaining dance before delivering it in front of a panel of judges.
