A team building experience your colleagues will actually talk about
Forget the trust falls and awkward icebreakers. Our corporate bushcraft experience near Edinburgh takes your team out of the meeting room and into real Scottish woodland, where they’ll work together to light fires, build shelters and solve practical outdoor challenges — the kind of shared problem-solving that builds genuine trust, faster than any indoor workshop can.
What your team will do
Groups are guided by our expert woodland leaders through a series of collaborative bushcraft challenges tailored to your team’s size and objectives. Expect fire lighting without matches, shelter building in pairs or small teams, and practical wilderness skills that require communication, patience and problem-solving under (friendly) pressure. We can also weave in specific themes — leadership, communication, resilience — if you’re looking for the day to tie back to a particular company value or training goal.
Why bushcraft works for team building
Unlike office-based activities, there’s no hierarchy in the woods. Job titles fall away when everyone’s trying to get a fire started before the rain arrives. It naturally surfaces who steps up, who listens, and how the team solves problems together — insights that are genuinely useful back in the workplace.
Who it’s for
Corporate teams of any size near Edinburgh — from small departments to full company away-days. No previous outdoor experience is needed; our woodland leaders adapt the challenge level to the group.
What’s included
A minimum 4-hour session with expert woodland leader guidance, all bushcraft equipment provided, and a debrief to connect the day’s experience back to your team’s goals. Full-day and multi-day options available for larger away-days — get in touch to build a bespoke itinerary.
