Teamchallenge in and around the „Event-Barn“, followed by a traditional „Barn-Night“

The “Aktiv Zentrum Jürgen Koch” team welcomes you at the Event-Barn, located near the town of Oberstaufen with a beautiful view over the mountains.

On our team course you’ll experience a symbiosis of pure nature adventure, teamwork and physical effort, which will challenge all your senses. A tremendous team-adventure is waiting for you! Every acitivity challenges the whole team: Trust practice, teamwork training, competition games, problem solving strategies and team behaviour. Rules and leadership will automatically or intentionally be trained in quick reflection rounds.

Depending on the weather conditions we plan to do the following team activities in- or outside the traditional Event-barn:

  • Allgäuer biathlon: archery and sprint
  • Long-ski challenge (5 participants on a long pair of skis)
  • Quad-bike course
  • Beer crate climbing
  • Allgäuer table football (real-people-table-football)
  • Lumberjack Olympics (nailing, cow milking, sawing, rubber boot throwing…)

 

Every team has a short break in between stations to get drinks or to cheer for other teams.

All tasks will be manageable for all attendees. The more athletic challenges do not have to be performed by every team mate, should someone not feel up for it.

After all stations have been graded, an award ceremony will take place where certificates will be handed over to the winners.

Allgäuer buffet: Food & beverages (as desired)

You can enjoy traditional Bavarian music performed either by a live band (optional; costs extra) or played back form CD.

Soapbox-Event at the „Event-Barn“

A great atmosphere is present in and around our Event Barn near Oberstaufen in the Allgäu. Our Barn is located on a beautiful hill, surrounded by grass and trees – the perfect location for team activities and a special way of team training. Welcoming of the participants by experienced team coaches.

Every team works on the following projects:

 

  • Designing of a team logo / creating advertisements
  • Pit stop (change of wheels and refueling)
  • Assembling a high-tech cart (soap box racing car).
  • After the evaluation of the results by our guides, the exciting „race stage“ will begin: Cart-race in a skill challenging course with single- and team timing.
  • Our Jeep will transport the soapboxes from the finish line to the start
  • Goal is to improve upon: organization, teamwork, skills, coordination
  • The team-exercise will end with a reflection, either as an entertaining competition or as a team encouraged initiative. At the end there will be a Formula-1-awards-ceremony with a bottle of Prosecco. The criterions we will estimate after are: fastest racer, fastest team with the least penalties, fastest pit-stop, and most creative team.

Geocaching

A modern version of treasure hunt (paper chase) with GPS devices. The task is to find hidden spots by given geographical coordinates.

The first given coordinate is entered into the device, which leads the way towards the next location. Then at the location you will have to search and find the cache (treasure) containing the coordinates for the next waypoint. Depending on the given time slot our tours consist 10-15 waypoints.

A geocaching can be combined with our team training modules, which have to be mastered by the teams on some of the waypoints.

Duration: 2-4 hours
