Green Team – Schools

From: 30 (p/p or per event ex-vat)

Building a sustainable future! The Green Team event is inspired by a sincere love of nature and the outdoors. Event Square offers dynamic tailored Green and Environmental Team Building Experiences that can make your school a more eco-sensitive space for your next school Away Day. Green and Environmental Team Building making the workplace a more eco-aware space can seem like a daunting, time-consuming task. That’s where our green and environmental events come in. They can help delegates break the habits of a lifetime and teach your team how to create transformative change. Re-educating an entire school needn’t take years and can actually be an enjoyable experience!

Located on 60 acres of serene forest in Rathdrum the activity location is a beautiful and natural wild environment. The river Avonmore meanders through the site and there is a gravel beach for everyone to enjoy.

The basic package is €60 p/p for a 3 hour activity package but you can add activity programs for day long programs and also dining and camping requirements to build your school day away.

Why not mix adventure, rejuvenation and reflection and choose a day long package? Perhaps a Bushmaster Survival Challenge with an afternoon of relaxation and connection with nature with a Yoga experience or some Forest Bathing? The experience teams take away with them is one of adventure, re-connection with nature, new skills and above all else, a feeling of well being and fulfilment. Join us for your next off the grid adventure.

Description

How does the Green Team event work?

The Green Team is all about grounding your students with an innovative teambuilding event in a unique environment. The programs on site are delivered in line with the principles of Leave no Trace. Activities, dining, and overnight stays can all be tailored. The Green Team can be a short 1/2 day program, a full day or a multi day program with a range of activity and dining options on offer. Choose a Bushcraft adventure, a Mindfulness & Wellness themed event, a Teambuilding activity or mix and match to create a great day for the your team.
