Welcome to your adventures in Bulgaria!

 

“If you want to know the person next to you, take them to the mountain. There you will find if they are really your friend...” 

Vladimir Visocki

Bulgaria is located on the Balkan Peninsula in Southeast Europe. The country is famous for its Black Sea coastline, mountains at a highest altitude of 2,900 metres, canyons, caves, rivers and mountain lakes which are a precious part of Europe’s wild nature. This amazing diversity is packed within a small territory, conveniently suitable for a variety of exciting team building programmes.

Bulgaria has all four seasons with warm summers that are not too hot. Winters are snowy and are excellent for mountain winter sports. The spring and autumn are the best time for team building because activities can take place at the sea, up in the mountains or in karst areas with meandering canyons, rivers and cave galleries.

Bulgaria’s history spans several millennia imprinted in the sanctuaries of ancient tribes, Thracian dome tombs and medieval strongholds. Set against beautiful wild scenery, they make an attractive setting for team building programmes revolving around adventures and the legends of the past.

Here you will find a relaxing team building programme or an adrenaline rush adventure offering a heady mix of climbing, rafting, canyoning, caving, paragliding and mountain biking. All activities are 100% safe and are fit for people without previous experience.

Accommodation can be at modern mountain or seaside resorts, or you can opt for peace and quiet in homey holiday villages and rural spa lodgings.

More about Bulgaria...

 

You can pick from our four different types of team building programmes. They offer different topics, levels of difficulty and impact.  

RELAX: The RELAX programme is based on standard team building exercises and can take place in any setting. It is a suitable and relaxing addition to workshops, training courses and other company events.

ADVENTURE: The ADVENTURE programme will take place in a cross-country terrain, at a water basin or in the mountain. It adapts standard team building exercises to handle more difficult surroundings. Some additional elements include orienteering, boats, rope gardens, caves, a shooting compound, and solutions to identify and reach a target.

ADRENALINE RUSH: The ADRENALINE RUSH team building event takes the ADVENTURE programme a step further and adds new sports elements like rafting, climbing, canyoning and paragliding. The ADRENALINE RUSH programme is the best way to achieve team synergy for the shortest possible time and is known to have the greatest impact.

SHOW TIME: The SHOW TIME programme can take place both outdoors and indoors. It can be used as a stand-alone option or to complement any other team building programme. This is a way to reveal unsuspected artistic, musical and creative abilities between team members. The evening SHOW TIME gala is a memorable, emotional end note to any team building effort.

More about programmes...

Levels of difficulty can be adjusted for all programmes and are suited for people without previous experience.

TEAM BUILDING FOCUS AND ASSESSMENT

The participants will make the most of the team building exercise, if its focus has been defined in advance. It can be internal communication, task synchronisation, motivation, leadership skills or any other area. Based on your prior requirements, we will generate the exercises that will make up the programme.

We can provide group or individual psychological profile analysis of the participants according to specific criteria defined by the client.

 

TEAM BUILDING LOCATION

Our team can design for you an effective team building programme for any location in Bulgaria or abroad. Programmes work best when the team building effort is set in a place allowing different adventurous exercises. To maximize the impact of our service, we can offer:

DIFFICULTY, INSURANCE, GEAR

  • "The harder the tasks, the more useful the programme is for the participants!" True to that axiom, we project different levels of difficulty according to the preliminary requirements of our clients, as well as their ‘hidden’ capabilities. The exercises in our programme are physically doable by all participants. The challenge is about their overcoming the psychological barriers together.

  • Every exercise involving use of specific gear (climbing ropes, boats, paintball guns) will be secured by our team which will make sure that the group is safe and all gear is used properly.

  • Every participant in the programme will be insured for the day of the team building event against injury suffered as a result of sport activities or any other outdoor group activities.

  • We use certified gear from the French company Petzl, a European and world leader for climbing and caving gear. 

 

ADDITIONAL SERVICES AND BONUSES

  • In addition to the team building programme, you can use one or more of these options:

  • Individual or group psychological profile analysis: A team of professional psychologists will prepare a report according to your prior requirements and after the end of the team building exercise will submit it to your HR department or CEO.

  • Professional videotaping: Our team will film your participation in the programme. We will edit the video and add appropriate music. Each participant will receive a DVD copy of the film. As part of this service, we can also engage a photographer who will make an album about the event.
