Right now, people all over the world are hiding and seeking treasures in urban or rural environs, anywhere from a mountain’s peak to the bottom of a lagoon. Be a part of this global phenomenon by participating in Kippure Estate’s Geoteaming team challenge.
A cross between adventure hiking, treasure-hunting and orienteering, this teambuilding corporate event is the ultimate experience for creating a new dimension of morale and motivation between you and your workmates.
Group sizes vary, and GPS devices and two-way radios will be provided.
This team building activity can be customised to suit the client’s needs. For example, various teams can challenge each other in a fun and competitive event or the teams work together to complete a challenge as a unit.

Geocaching is a clever, puzzle-solving team game, where innovative technology meets natural and rugged landscape. |
| |
|
|
You will use GPS (global positioning system) devices, a map and two-way radios. You create a waypoint by entering latitude and longitude coordinates into the GPS and follow the navigating arrow on the device’s screen. |
| |
|
|
Once you arrive at the first landmark, it turns into a challenging team activity of hide-and-seek to find the concealed treasure chest. |
| |
|
|
As the hunt continues, cohesion will form between team members, while each player develops an important skill-based role and contributes to the completion of a mentally and physically challenging course. |
Kippure Estate’s woodlands, meadows, river banks and the location in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains provide an ideal atmosphere for building teams. Whether you want to introduce a group of new workmates to one another, increase morale around the office or reward employees after a productive quarter, Geoteaming is an ideal team building activity.
