The English term ‘team building’ literally means ‘building a team’. Most commonly seen in the professional sphere, it allows a company’s employees to get to know each other, strengthen bonds and create harmony outside the workplace. Long neglected because it fell outside the scope of traditional professional activities, it is now making a legitimate comeback. The benefits are proven: improved employee loyalty to their company, better communication within teams, a positive impact on employee engagement and, finally, the development of complementary skills such as soft skills. In this article, we will give you five reasons to do your team building at the Fontdouce Adventure Park, in our beautiful Charentes region.
An original activity for a successful team-building outing
When a company embarks on a team-building initiative, it is essential that the day be memorable. To achieve this, we offer our tried-and-tested team-building activity, The Totem Odyssey, which is tailored to our environment, namely the valley surrounding the Fontdouce River. This great team adventure will delight your employees: competition, communication, physical activity, reflection and mutual support are all part of the experience! Offer your team a real collective challenge with a touch of adventure.
A splendid green setting for a rejuvenating seminar
In addition to enjoying a unique experience, you can take advantage of the rejuvenating setting offered by Fontdouce. It is the ideal place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life! Between the surrounding nature and the historic charm of Fontdouce Abbey. This place has everything to charm you. These large natural spaces allow us to accommodate up to 200 people for this activity. In addition, you can also hire rooms within the Abbey for meetings, corporate dinners or evening events in a timeless setting, adorned with beautiful stones steeped in history. We have even thought of everything, as you can stay within the Abbey itself, in our lodgings that can accommodate up to 40 people. There are no more excuses for not enjoying the benefits of a seminar in the countryside.
A reasonable budget for a team-building outing suitable for everyone
Team building is both a strategic and generous choice. It is therefore important that it is accessible to as many people as possible, so that every company can benefit from it. Fontdouce Adventure Park offers activities for all budgets. Expect to pay between €8 and €43 per person for group fun of varying durations. The result: your budget, whatever it may be, is respected, and your employees are loyal and motivated for the rest of the year. Mutual support develops among everyone, as does communication. There is no more effective technique for boosting your professional performance than having committed employees who feel they belong to your company’s values.
The diversity of activities corresponding to your cohesion objectives
Our activity is perfect for bringing all employees together for half a day or a full day. If you want to extend this team-building day, you can also try our other activities, which cater to all tastes. It’s the ideal opportunity for everyone to reveal their personality and qualities through outdoor activities. Among these activities, we have the unmissable tree climbing, a sporting interlude and a real opportunity to observe the forest from above. For the more daring, we also offer bubble football and archery games to let off steam and extend the team competition. Off-road electric scooter trails are the ideal solution for those who love to make new discoveries in search of thrills. Walks of different levels and durations are available to explore the surrounding area. For those who enjoy group games, outdoor laser tag is for you! A team battle on 100% natural terrain: wooden watchtowers and hiding places are at your disposal to help your team win. Finally, for those who enjoy challenges that require some brainpower, Fontdouce offers digital rallies. It’s a great way to interact and have fun as a team while enjoying a ride around this incredible site.
A dedicated team for a tailor-made event
You can be sure that the day will be tailored to your needs. The team in charge of events and entertainment is at your disposal to help you plan your project. Let’s define your plans and desires, decide on the possibilities together, and then let us guide you! For the Totem Odyssey activity mentioned above, you remain in control of your team-building outing. You choose the number of teams, their composition (random selection is also possible) and your four favourite challenges from the six on offer. These challenges vary in terms of their physical, sporting, skill or thinking requirements. In addition, it is possible to schedule time for meals throughout the day: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or even an aperitif at the end of the day to round off a memorable day in style! You will enjoy our three large terraces in the middle of the woods, a refreshing and unusual location that is ideal for a convivial gathering with all your colleagues. Based on this programme, our team will accompany you throughout the day with a smile! Because we know you would like to find out more about this extraordinary day, you will find some inspirational videos on the YouTube channel of the Parc Aventure de Fontdouce.
