Team building events improve team morale, efficiency, and even help your employees maintain a healthier lifestyle. But what could you do to make a team-building trip interesting? Should it become a competition? Tips and tricks from Fitpuli.

Outdoor team building activities

Corporate outing ideas are necessary to keep things interesting in the workplace. We’ve already suggested some workplace wellness programs to organize in your company. Employee fitness challenges and wellness incentives will make sure that your team will bond.

Outdoor team building activities are super important because your employees will finally leave the office and meet at a ‘neutral territory’ where nothing is related to their work. New personalities, new jokes, new memories will be born. 

Why are team-building excursions effective?

Based on a study, your brain will start working better just as you look at a picture that contains natural elements. Better mental health, happier lifestyle can be maintained if we spend more time in nature. Stress and anxiety are reducing in forests and parks. 

It is not necessary to go far: explore nearby public gardens, take a walk on the streets and enjoy the increased productivity.

There are so many places to go!

Team building trip ideas

Before you start organizing your trip, there are some things you should pay attention to:

• Look after the infrastructure: is there electricity? Toilettes? Shops nearby?
• Terrain conditions: determine the dress code for the excursions. Tell your employees what type of shoe they will need.
• In summer, people with allergies can suffer – be prepared for this situation.
• Talking about summer, mosquitos cause some inconvenience if you don’t use repellents.

Team-building charity events are generally hosted outdoors, thus it can reach more people, even local civilians to participate in charity. In summer, there is a big opportunity to organize a fundraiser for a cause, and in winter you might go out and give some food to people in need.

Most of the team-building trip ideas don’t need a high budget. 

Summer outing ideas

Summer outing is one of the best corporate fun activities. The weather is nice and there are many events to participate in. 

The most known team-building trip event is to go Geocaching. In this game, teams have to find “treasures” from a map. On the way to the treasures, there is time to get to know each other better, or even have some fun in the local pubs. All you need is an application and a GPS.

Other than that, you might want to try “minesweeper”. In this game, your colleagues are split into duos. One of them wears a blindfold while the other tries to control the blinded with voice commands. The goal is to avoid all the mines!

Winter outing activities

Hold a bonfire, go skiing, build your corporate logo out of snow. There are a lot of fun activities even in winter! You can go skating, stargazing, sledding, but the funniest is probably the ice sculpture challenge. The goal is to leave the office sometimes, even in winter.
