5 tips to choose the perfect outdoor team building activity

1. Pick activities that match your employees’ passions and interests

When planning a team building event, the first thing to consider is your team’s interests. If you have a group of people who love nature or the outdoors, you’ll want to find activities that allow them to enjoy the great outdoors.
Here are some of our favorite outdoor activities that work well for groups:

Hiking

A good hike will give your employees a chance to bond while enjoying the great outdoors. You can choose from shorter hikes or longer ones — and if you choose the latter, you can even set up a campfire and roast marshmallows at night!

Kayaking or canoeing

Kayaks and canoes are great ways to explore bodies of water without getting wet — unless they tip over! Make sure everyone knows how to swim before setting off on an adventure in one of these boats!

Biking or mountain biking

Bikes are another great way to explore nature — but this time, it’s up close and personal! They’re also much faster than walking or hiking so if you’re short on time – or your team fancies a more intense sporting challenge.

2. Pick activities that are new for everyone

If some people on your team have already done an activity before, they might not be interested in doing it again. So make sure you pick something new for everyone! You can also check out our list of the best outdoor team building activities to make sure you don’t miss any good ones.

3. Make sure there are enough spaces available for everyone in your group

The last thing you want is having someone who wants to participate but can’t because there aren’t enough spaces left for them. Make sure that there’s enough space for each person so that no one gets left out. If there aren’t enough spaces available, consider splitting up into smaller groups by age or experience level so that everyone has a chance to participate equally during the event.

4. Find the perfect location.

It’s important that your chosen location has enough space for everyone to enjoy their time outside together and that it has the appropriate facilities. You should also check that there’s enough parking nearby or that the location is easily reachable by public transport, unless you are planning to arrange transportation for everyone.

5. Talk to your team about how they are going to keep their improved bonding after the activity is over

If people are going back to work with their colleagues, then they’ll want some ideas on how they can implement what they have learned and use it to improve their working environment.
