Arena has a wide experience of running corporate teambuilding events for many companies, both large and small, in helping to foster team spirit and enabling people to get to know each other better away from the work environment.

Our training packages, whether at the secluded Arena site or at the location of your choice, provide a range of team building exercises which allow teams of all kinds to assess and develop their abilities in such areas as communication, planning and organising, creativity and leadership.

After each teambuilding exercise feedback is supplied by experienced facilitators, allowing teams to assess and take accurate stock of their abilities and how best to use each team member to achieve task/team and individual goals.  Conflict or tension inherent in the team is often either brought to the surface and dealt with in a non-work, and therefore less threatening environment, or is reduced by the need to work together under pressure on projects which are demanding, but fun at the same time.

The activities offered by Arena can be modified to focus on the particular needs of specific teams, and can readily be run within the framework of a more far-reaching team development programme involving, for example, Team Role Analysis and other classroom activities.  

During the Team Building Tasks we look for individual skills such as:

• Initiative
• Leadership
• Creativity
• Communications
• Flexibility
• Decision Making
• Time Management
• Man Management

As well as being fun, the competitive element and team development will be of great benefit in the workplace.

Tasks include:

• Sheep Pen
• Minefield Crossing
• Pot on Pole
• Canal Crossing
• Ravine Crossing
• Spider's Web
• Raising the Flag
• Discs
• 4/5 Person Skis
• Fred’s Cadillac
• Blind Alley

Arena is able to draw on a wide range of outside facilitators, but is happy to work with companies’ independent consultants and specialists in their various fields.

All participants must bring sturdy footwear and a change of clothing.

All team building activities are designed to be successfully achieved by any group that is prepared to work together. Age and fitness are not barriers and we welcome individuals who may have physical disabilities.  Whilst they may not be able to partake in the implementation of a particular task, they can be a valuable asset in the planning stage as well as taking on a role of co-ordinator and motivator during the tasks.

Many clients mix a half-day of the Team Tasks with either Paintballing, itself an excellent team building tool, or a mix of Country Pursuits and Motorised activities. Learning and then succeeding in a new skill which is exciting, rewarding and fun helps to get participants to talk to each other, thereby breaking down barriers and building friendships both on site and then in the workplace.

All Year Round Facilities:
With our new conference/indoor training facilities, Arena offers either a full day indoors or a morning theory session with the opportunity to put into action what they have discussed and learnt previously in the afternoon. Click here for more details.

Orienteering:
Being based on 250 acres overlooking Bewl Water, the reservoir acts as a wonderful landmark for groups who choose to make the most of the stunning countryside to improve their team skills and map reading.

By splitting the group into small teams, each member has the opportunity to lead their particular team. Time and people management are tested, as they will find that they will never have the time to visit all the clues given and to answer the related questions. Each clue is worth a certain amount of points, but which ones to locate and in what order? Several clues relate to country pubs, but do they have time to sample their wares and score maximum points?
