Wolfestone Team Building – By Anna Milkowska – Project Management
Our team-building camping trip started off badly with lots of rain and drizzle, but Wolfestone team proved intrepid and we hit the road in our cramped cars, overloaded with camping and survival equipment, Polish sausages and crates of…Coke. After we finally managed to park our cars without blocking other campers, we put up our tents on what at the time seemed to be a harmless slope but at sleep time turned magically into a giant side of a mountain, which we were rolling down in our tents. We all got soaking wet and very muddy so we gathered in our huge tent’s living area and practised our team working skills while preparing lunch, each of us responsible for one of the following sandwich making stages- cutting, buttering, „hamming”, „lettucing” and „tomatoing”. We then played lots of fun indoor challenges prepared by our colleagues. We have learned that we should not set fire to the water while drifting on a (possibly rubber!) raft in the middle of the Ocean and that a shark repellent is something each of us should keep handy! When the rain had finally stopped, we completed our outdoor challenges: built 2 extra durable bridges out of newspaper that could hold a man’s weight (well, almost!), made 2 extra straight squares out of rope with our eyes closed and without talking (well, almost!), showed incredible balancing skills while group-walking on tiny bricks (well, almost!) and saved the planet by neutralising radioactive liquid that Roy had inadvertently brought with him to the campsite. After all the challenges and a major bog-related accident, we burned the bridges and enjoyed a nice warm fire (well, almost!) that we managed to light and barbecued till the wee small hours, playing guitar and singing „Delilah”…
