The Mountain Quest

Tribal Team Building
Tribal team building develops great team work amongst participants, while teaching them how to survive in the Wild.
Through survival themed team building challenges, your team will discover how to succeed or indeed survive just as primitive tribes have done for centuries.
Through our experience of teaching bush craft, survival skills and primitive living, we have re-invigorated the typical team building experience into something more meaningful.
If your team is looking to try something that'll open their senses to the world of survival and the art of living in the wild, then this is for you!
The Nature Programme
“Young people need nature for the healthy development of their senses, and for learning and creativity.This need is revealed in two ways; by an examination of what happens to the senses of the young when they lose connection with nature; and by witnessing the sensory magic that occurs when young people - even those beyond childhood - are exposed to even the smallest direct experience of a natural setting”. (Louv R., 2005, “Last Child in the Woods”)
We've designed a fantastic outdoor education experience for young people called "The Nature Programme". The youth of today are being asked to combat climate change and to protect and save our planet. It’s important that they have an opportunity to bond with the natural world and to learn to love it, before being asked to heal its wounds.
