Camping team building event
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.

Ribs at The Needles
A land, sea and air event does what it says on the box. Part of the event is on the land, for example off road driving, Segways or any number of event combinations. Another part is on the sea on board yachts or ribs and then the final element is a sensational ride in a helicopter.
The whole event is co-ordinated so that teams move from section to section in a high tempo and unforgettable day of pure adrenaline. You can even transfer between yachts on ribs.

This is a high profile event at the top end of the budget. However, for sophisticated clients who have experienced a lot of different activities it is an ideal selection. It’s an event that people will not want to miss.
There are some excellent hotels in the New Forest area including The Chewton Glen, Rhinefield House and The Grand Harbour in Southampton.
