Lost

Team Building Events- Lost

While trekking in remote jungle, disaster strikes for your team: a torrential rain storm washes away all their belongings and kit, leaving them helpless and unprotected from the elements, with no food or water. Lacking a navigator and most kit, the team must find their way safely back to civilisation using the resources they have left and can find and overcoming a number of challenging obstacles along the way. Your team will have to develop and use techniques in crossing chasms and minefields, as well as climbing through a huge spider’s web and collecting and utilising equipment along the way. In addition to the 4 hour Lost event, the full day ‘Lost’ event will also cover raft building.
 

The Benefits of this Event for Team Development

This event is a great way to establish how the team interacts and develop skills as an integrated group in a completely new situation, under pressure. Getting to know each other in the process, they will establish roles and individual traits that can benefit certain aspects of the task and be used in future life and work situations. With different people working in different ways under pressure, predominant skills when placed in this situation will emerge. Finishing the day tired and possibly wet and muddy, team members will be exhausted but happy and will certainly know each other if they didn’t before! With an active imagination they will also get a taste of how it feels to really be lost in the jungle!
