Map & Compass Trek

 

Imagine you are lost in the wilderness with only a compass, a map and your keen wit. Luckily you have been highly trained in the ways of team orienteering and are accompanied by trustworthy workmates.

Okay, so maybe you are not officially “lost”, but this simulated survival activity, using map and compass reading skills, is the ultimate outdoor team building experience. It will be the corporate event that your employees will never stop talking about.
