Corporate Groups
Whatever your objectives for team building or team development, we can provide a programme from our proven range of sessions, or work with you to develop a bespoke solution.
Carnegie Great Outdoors’ professional, highly qualified coaches will work with you to deliver activities that are fun, inspire and leave a lasting impression.
Hosted by our motivational instructors, your session can be tailored to meet your individual requirements, making sure you get the results you are looking for; from simply having a great fun activity day to a team development day designed to break down barriers and enhance communications in your organisation.
Our team building sessions are designed to fit into your timetable, and can be delivered as half, full or multi-day programme and we will work with you to determine the amount of indoor/outdoor time that you would like to incorporate into your programme.
Activities can be organised throughout the UK, including your own premises if they are suitable. If, however, you would like to get away from the office, we can arrange to use popular venues in the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, at Lilleshall National Sports Centre and at our Leeds Headingley Campus.

Typical activities for corporate days
Below is a selection of our activities that can be incorporated into a team building day, either as part of a team walk, or static in one place.
This can form a fun and challenging aspect to the day. Whilst there are obvious parts of the day that will require good communication i.e. managing the group safely, ensuring clear details are passed in sometimes environmentally challenging conditions (wind, rain etc), there are also other scenarios we can introduce by having a remote Base Station manned by another person:
- Limited communication – If the information passed is limited and intermittent this can lead to having to overcome anxiety within the group, tougher decision making and problem solving.
- Remote leading – The Base Station person could be asked to remotely lead legs of the journey from the information they have at their fingertips whilst the group have their maps taken away. This requires excellent teamwork, good understanding and patience to overcome complexities.
- Passage of detailed information - By having a base to communicate information the clarity of the details becomes essential. Blind Draw is a challenge where a description of a drawing without using any key words is completed and the results can be sent to the group for confirmation (and often amusement!).
Background challenges can keep the whole group engaged throughout the journey, giving them ongoing responsibility to gather key information. Examples include:
- Samples – The team are challenged to find items to cover the first letter of the alphabet, i.e. Apple, Twig, Grass and fit them all into a small container. Team Work, creativity and awareness of their surroundings make this a good fun and engaging challenge.
- Photo Trail – Before setting out the group are asked to focus on a screen and without making notes observe a selection of varied images. Once out walking the group are then asked to identify the objects/views as they see them during the journey. Concentration, clear thinking and a logical approach are required.
- Appreciating your surroundings – Prior to the journey the group are asked to research an individual bird, animal, plant etc and during the day at relevant intervals members are selected to present back their findings. This will encourage research into a new subject, demonstrate presentational skills and give everyone appreciation of the environment they are in.
We also offer team building challenges that can be undertaken in one place, either as a programme of activities to cover a full day or as individual sessions to complement and enhance your team away day or conference.
Some examples of the many options we offer can be found on our team building activities pages.
