HOW TO..........still enjoy outdoor team building activities in Winter

Now that the days are getting cooler you may be thinking twice about sending your groups sailing or on water based activities. Don’t despair; we still have plenty of Team Building options to offer. As some of you may be aware we have a fantastic outdoor, undercover area overlooking Pittwater which is ideal for team building activities while still being protected by the rain. One of our preferred Team Building companies, Team Building Australia are able to utilise this area with many of their exciting programs.

They bring over 8 years of expertise in entertaining, interactive and energy learning to add value to every clients' organisational, team and individual needs. They are continually creating new team building programs, so if you are looking for something special that is both inspirational and has a WOW factor, look no further!

Here is an example of one of their exciting programs:

Who can uncover the mole in ‘Busted’?
Teams race against the clock to build an exact copy of a Lego construction. This simple task is complicated by a huge revelation that there is a Mole in the room who's task is to sabotage their construction efforts.

Yes, the Mole is a highly trained saboteur who will do just about anything to put your team out of the race to win the competition.
• What will your team do to counter the Mole?
• Do they know the Moles methods of sabotage?
• How will they stay ahead of other teams to win the challenge?

For more information on this and more activities, contact Guy Moxley on 0416 152 820 or view www.teambuildingaustralia.com.au.
