Successful team building – by land and by sea!

/in ,

Kurtenbach Modellbau GmbH went on a field trip on July 20, 2018. After an opulent breakfast we took a bus to the island of Grafenwerth, where we found preparations had been made for us. First were some team games on land, namely an outdoor Parkour course. Working in groups, we mastered many challenges before building rafts to continue our journey in the water. We built different groups and after a short introduction to knotting we received ropes, buoys and trunks. There were no limits to our creativity. Before we went on the water we were fitted out with life jackets (just in case!) and paddles. Unfortunately we did not achieve the goal of not falling into the water – but no one really minded getting wet, as it was cool and refreshing!
The adventure ended with a delicious evening meal and chilled drinks as well as pleasant conversations.
