corporate groups

Many companies have found that the bonding that participants experience on an adventure challenge, can bring very real benefits to a corporate team. It is of course a very real training ground and people from all backgrounds are levelled to the same starting point as they all leave their comfort zone for up to two weeks, experiencing life away from their families, without home comforts such as a bed, flushing toilet, mobile phones, TV and radio, where they may have to rely on their colleagues when morale is low, or if they are physically shattered from the challenge.

We can organise private group departures for companies wanting to use the challenges for any of the following, or even purely to fundraise for your charity:

• Networking
• Corporate social responsibility
• Team building
• Personal development
• Incentives for staff
• Morale boost
• Recruitment and retention of good people

If you have a corporate fundraising team, or you are the charity of the year for a business and think this may be of interest, please feel free to call us and discuss how this might benefit your cause.
