TEAM BUILDING

UP HIGH IN THE TREES

Are you and your team ready to take on a challenge? High in the treetops or out in the meadows, Fun Forest has you covered! They put together the best corporate activities to help you conquer your fears and discover your superpowers. With a varied range of adventures, tailored to your team, they’re sure to get the best out of your people. Managers Maartje van Rhijn and Michiko Scannell told us what their park has to offer. The climbing forest welcomes groups of all kinds, including families, friends, schools and companies. So, what are you waiting for?

“We organize a whole range of corporate team-building activities. You can climb 10 courses through the treetops, or keep both feet firmly on the ground with different ground-based games. If you’re looking for action, we also have an expedition for teams, with various games in a race format”, says Michiko, Fun Forest’s social impact manager. Activities can also be combined, so while one group is climbing, the other can be gaming on the ground. According to Maartje, manager of the nationwide park’s Amsterdam location, “Succeeding at these games’ hinges on teamwork. You have to rely on each other with climbing, too, as there’s a lot going on when you’re ten metres off the ground. There’s no such thing as doing poorly in an activity. The whole idea is to work out where the kinks are. We see colleagues helping each other out and what makes people thrive.”

With its vision of contributing to an inclusive society, Fun Forest is also actively involved in community outreach. They want everyone to be able to enjoy a day out at the adventure park. Among other things, they give free climbing passes to kids who, for financial or other reasons, would normally be unable to visit. This philosophy also extends to its hiring practice. Young people who have trouble finding employment elsewhere are welcomed on board to learn on the job.

Fun Forest is located in the beautiful Amsterdamse Bos, an easy cycle from Zuidas. After your exertions, your team can unwind over drinks at one of the local establishments, fire up the BBQ or book a laid-back lunch.

By booking your event with Fun Forest you share in their social mission “a world with people connected through outdoor adventure”. The more guest they welcome, the more jobs for young people they create. A team building activity at Fun Forest counts towards your SROI obligation (Social Return on Investment).
