Activities for groups and teams

A well selected activity will motivate your co-workers, strengthen them as a team and make your business event memorable. We have many years of experience organising activities for groups of all sizes. All year, we offer experiences in nature that give tenfold back. There are team building activities for all incentives and conferences, at any budget and any wishes. Don’t hesitate to reach out to hear our ideas for your group. 

Nature is at the core. We are located in the forest by the Ume river, a natural meeting spot between the lovely northern Sweden towns of Umeå, Lycksele and Skellefteå.
