Teambuilding in tune with Nature



 

At some time in everyone’s life, there’s been a job where everything has ‘just clicked’. The right combination of personalities are on the job together. Everyone is happy and productive. It’s enjoyable coming to work each day. There may be disagreements but they’re worked out amicably. You might be lucky and this team just happens on its own or with some planning you can make it happen. We can help you develop that well functioning team.

How can you make that happen? There is a model that already exists and it surrounds us every day. It’s Nature and the relationships and interdependencies that make our planet work. Natural Teams will use these basic biological principles to help you create the workplace you’ve always wanted.

Nature is and will always be our greatest teacher. By immersing your staff in a series of nature based activities and exercises. We’ll help them draw out their natural creativity and strengthen their bonds.

So where do you start? It depends on your budget, goals and time constraints. The experience with Natural Teams can be as simple or complex as it needs to be. It can be as simple as a day on the water kayaking with your staff or as complex as a full day multi-activity program custom designed to meet your training and budgetary needs.

We will work with you to develop a customized experiential learning program. Depending on your specific needs programs can be put together in an a la carte fashion. Prices range from $50-$250/person.

Team Building scenarios
What makes this more than just a day away from the office, are the facilitators who closely monitor activities and offer assessment and feedback to your staff. Team building scenarios can be added to kayaking, biking, hiking or done alone. It is a fact that people learn best when they are challenged. We can’t promise that it will always be easy but it will always be fun.

This is where each program will be different depending on your desired goal. What are you trying to improve or change in your staff?

  • enhance communication
  • boost employee morale
  • develop cooperation
  • encourage leadership
  • develop a sense of belonging within the organization

Each element is designed to strengthen the bonds between staff members and the environment. Being in nature tends to clear one’s head of every day demands and disruptive thoughts. Once the pressure of the day to day is relieved, clarity, creativity and and collaboration flow.

 

Get out of the office! All to often team-building is done on Wednesday morning in conference room A. Natural environments provide opportunities for group bonding in a new ‘exotic’ environment. It is well known that stress causes a variety of emotional and physical difficulties as well as decreased job performance. Over one hundred studies show that stress reduction is a key benefit of wilderness recreation. Adding on a shared challenge increases social support and develops camaraderie.

"My facilitator was absolutely phenomenal! I really felt his connection to the environment, what he was trying to relate to us and his passion for all of the info that we covered."

"My favorite part was being able to work with one of my TM's from another store and enjoy the trust he had in me to keep him safe. He was terrified of the kayak exercise. And the ask for help exercise was huge for me! A deep reminder of my biggest challenge. Very safe, beautiful facility and space and a very caring and invested staff. Many blessings."

 

"Overall I think it was a great program and really helped us to get to know each other on a more personal level. This was key for anew team of leaders undertaking such a huge task."
