Description
Team Building in Wicklow: The Glendalough Adventure
The Glendalough Adventure is a corporate team building experience in Wicklow that combines a hike through the Glendalough Valley with map and GPS navigation, hidden puzzles, photo tasks and a group finale. It is designed for teams that want an outdoor shared experience with a mix of navigation, problem-solving and collaboration rather than a standard activity day.
Teams collect points as they move through the route before returning to base for the final challenge. The format can work particularly well for company away days, graduate groups and teams looking to spend meaningful time together outside Dublin.
How does the Glendalough Adventure work?
Teams start at base camp and navigate to hidden activity zones using a map, GPS and their own route-finding skills. Along the way they complete challenges and collect points before returning to base for a group finale.
Zones include:
- Hike Zone: Navigate by map and GPS to secret locations in the Glendalough Valley.
- Team Building Zone: Solve hidden puzzles and team challenges to earn points.
- Photo Zone: Find and photograph concealed objects along the route.
- Group Finale Zone: Bring the teams back together for a final race or challenge.
