TEAM BUILDING

Team building relates to activities undertaken by groups of people in order to increase and improve team motivation, cooperation and morale. Most people use terms such as “team building” and “teamwork” interchangeably, however, they are actually two distinct concepts. Team building places an emphasis on the formation of a group, teamwork emphasizes the functions within the groups.

Team building activities are designed to increase cohesiveness and cooperation. Many people do not entirely understand how spending time “playing team games” can help improve productivity or even develop an individual’s interpersonal skills. The outcome is, dependant on how an organisation uses team building activities, within their relevant sector, to determine how individual’s attitudes are shaped.





“Gateway Adventure ran a Team Building day for my daughter and her friends for her 11th Birthday Party. The group took part in a number of activities including some High Roped elements. They all had a fantastic time and can’t wait to come back for her brother’s birthday” Higgs Family, Kidderminster


The team building activities that Gateway Adventure uses are designed for specific age ranges. Whatever the participants age range, you can be sure that the team building tasks will engage and challenge the individuals without them feeling overwhelmed.

Depending on prevailing weather conditions some of the tasks can be run indoors, including a number of paper tasks.

People are not born leaders. Individuals can learn leadership and Gateway Adventure has experienced instructors who are able to pinpoint specific areas for development. The participants are advised how they can develop their leadership, personal and interpersonal skills though plenary discussion.
