Campfire Adventures
In today’s world, we have the privilege of working with amazing colleagues to create better products and futures than we could ever dream of doing alone.
Let us help take the guess work out of it. We offer a 1 day or a 4 day offering that will not only end your year on a high note, but also get your team working well together!
Team building has been shown to improve a company:
- Culture
- Communication
- Collaboration
It also leads to an increase in: Performance
- Conflict Resolution
- Respect for one another
- Appreciation of the company
Why do it in nature?
Being in the sun, helps your body absorb Vitamin D, leading to strong bones, more red blood cells, and a stronger immune system. Operating outside, if you’re physically active or not, it leads to improved focus, better creativity – or translated into a business context, an increased ability to solve complex problems.
In nature, your body naturally combats the debilitating effects of stress on the body, with increased oxygen intake, more natural light (less screens) and the soothing sounds of nature, your body’s natural process of homeostasis actively combats the negative effects of modern life.
What We Do
We are on a mission to change the way that people look after themselves. For too long people have been committing to medication, crazy diets or unsustainable exercise regimes in order to make them feel like they are looking after themselves.

Arrival
Early morning arrival means two things in nature:
• A nice refreshing hike to clear the mind and energize the body
• Coffee and Rusks are definitely served at the peak of the hike
• Side effects include great views and a sense of accomplishment
Following the hike, we move into a facilitated session looking to answer the following questions:
• What does this team want to achieve?
• What are the obstacles?
• What is everyone’s best asset to the team?
Once we have the theory taken care of, we move into the physical team-building part where we learn old-world skills and more about one another:
• Rock climbing
• Water activities
• Exploration/Orienteering
• All the activities are designed to test and improve the teamwork in the team, leveraging the sessions we’ve learned earlier in the day
Evening and conclusion:
• We facilitate a campfire discussion that will cement and entrench the learnings of the day
• You have the option to complete a cold plunge, yoga session, or fire-making session to cement the physical feeling of achievement and growth.
• We end off with a braai, some drinks, and the opportunity to socialize and make memories.
• Once the team-building ends, we can also arrange transport home for anyone who needs it.
