Team Building Activities: Strengthen your team by the sea

The team building has become an essential event to strengthen team cohesion and promote team spirit within companies. By choosing to organize these activities by the sea, you offer your team an experience of relaxation and team cohesion.

What is the purpose of team building?

The goal of team building is simple: to create team cohesion among your colleagues. Team building is an event tool that involves taking your team out of the professional environment so that they can create bonds in a more relaxed setting. This time of exchange and sharing generally involves diverse and varied activities such as team games, discovering places, or practicing an unusual sport. Water sports are often an activity practiced during a team building, so the seaside is a very popular destination.

Team building by the sea

Strengthen team cohesion at sea

Strengthening team cohesion by the sea is an approach that helps strengthen bonds between team members while being in the open air. A team building and bord de mer allows you to do activities such as paddle boarding, surfing, sailing or even coastal hiking including the famous GR34 which passes right next to our campsite in Piriac-sur-Mer. These activities aim to strengthen team cohesion and promote the spirit of mutual assistance and surpassing oneself. Outdoors, far from digital constraints, employees disconnect from their professional routine and connect with each other in a calming setting.

Organizing these outdoor activities allows you to do physical exercises that are beneficial to your health. Whether for a small business or a large group, team buildings by the sea are accessible to all budgets, with options ranging from simple walks to sporting challenges. These moments spent in the great outdoors also help strengthen bonds between employees, bring out their true personalities and create common memories that will remain after the end of the stay.

 

Team Building outside the company: the advantages 

The outdoor setting offers many advantages for companies and their employees, particularly during team building. By leaving the usual work environment, participants find themselves in a more relaxed environment, conducive to exchange and the creation of links. This immersion in nature not only helps to break the professional routine and get off to a positive start, but also allows you to really get to know your colleagues. By stimulating group energy, these moments promote the discovery of each person and the identification of qualities that can be valued at work.

In addition, the external setting is ideal for resolving existing conflicts, while placing people at the heart of the experience, even before performance objectives. This improves communication, reinforces the feeling of belonging to the team and allows the integration of newcomers into a group. Thanks to these outdoor interactions, the team becomes more united.

Last aspect, and not least, there is also a deconstruction of hierarchy, making it possible to reduce the distance between managers and their teams, while encouraging collaboration.

How to do team building?

Adapt activities to company objectives

To get off to a good start with organizing your Team Building, it is essential to define the objective of your team day. Whether you want to strengthen team cohesion, encourage creativity or improve communication, each objective calls for specific activities. For example, if your goal is to stimulate creativity, consider creative challenges or problem-solving workshops.

On the other hand, if you are aiming for better collaboration, opt for outdoor group games that require teamwork and interaction. Clarity in your objectives will allow you to choose the activities that will best contribute to achieving the desired results.

 

Consider team size

The size of your group and the physical level of your participants are crucial elements to take into account when organizing your Team Building. Indeed, some activities are more suited to small groups, encouraging intimate interaction and collaboration, while others can accommodate larger groups and are ideal for encouraging group dynamics.

Additionally, it is important to assess the fitness level of participants to ensure that all activities are accessible and enjoyable. This will ensure that each team member can actively participate and feel valued.

 

To maximize the impact of your Team Building, consider combining activities within and around the campsite. This will allow you to vary your experiences while taking advantage of the attractions of the natural setting.
