Team Building Exercise

Yogesh Mendiratta

Hi guys,

We are planning to go for a team building exercise from our office. We are around 50 in number. What we are looking for is Camps, bonfire, team building activites..

Guys please suggest a place near to delhi around 200-300 Km from Delhi. Our plan is to leave on the saturday morning and come back on the sunday.

Regards
Yogesh

I guess the traditional place would be Rishikesh for this with the camping, and the rafting etc...

Might be a bit too hot for a bonfire unless you go to mountains!

One place you could look at is Park Woods , Shogi , HP - Its located on a ridge above Shoghi, cottages, activities and lots of walks...

...the only problem is that it might be raining , in which case the bonfire might not happen again...


Dont know why i am getting fixated on the bonfire

All I remember is one team building river rafting exercise in the US. The raft tipped and the entire executive staff drowned! The company went bankrupt..

Hmmm....maybe i could suggest this to my senior management...

that whenever they want to lay off people, they can take them on a nice rafting trip...

The story goes like this....one executive somwhow survived and formed a company with all the experience he had.The company when stabilised financially called on Glenn Parker and again organised a Team building meet, and this time the meet was organised in an island and then there was a TSUNAMI.....
What do you think...again everybody perished...no man...tsunami hit the island on the otherside and the meet went off pretty well.The company became multinational and spread the importance of Team building to the whole world.

I'll stick with the rapids then , Tsunami's obviously cannot be relied on ....

I cannot think of a better team building exercise than getting a bonfire going in the pouring rain.

But come to think of it it might teach them a lesson...you know something along the lines of

'perseverance in the face of adversity'

OR

'somethings dont make sense , but you need to do them'

Urrgh, really? Bonfire making in the rain? What kind of twisted idea of fun is that? How about hitchhiking to the nearest four star hotel and spending the night raiding the minibar? I'd love the entire team like my best friends by the end of that night.

I never said dont drink , infact if they try the fire thing i am sure it would get them down to drinking whether they wanted to or not

Erm.. mine.

I have many happy childhood memories of Welsh holidays on deserted beaches, foraging and beachcombing for wood in the rain, and making a fire to cook sausages and damper (a sort of bread) on sticks.

Camping as an adult, it's a skill that has made the difference between being cold wet and miserable, and sitting beside a cheery fire, being warm and dry with a nice cup of tea and a hot meal inside me.

When it's not raining, there's nothing more companionable than all sitting round a fire with a few beers.

Well, I have to admit, that idea does have its attractions!

I have similar memories of wet Welsh holidays, but in a tiny cottage with a wood fire. I went back there last year, just to see if I could find it again. It's still there, and the village still has just the one shop. Time stands still in north Powys, apparently.

Now I live in Wales full time, the rain's kind of lost its allure, though...
