    More about Highland games team building

    Time to awaken the Scot in yourself! The Highland Games are the team building activity where your colleagues suddenly transform into medieval musclemen wearing a kilt (without you having to really check what’s underneath, fortunately). Forget brainstorming sessions and boring flip charts: this is all about throwing logs as if you were the Hulk himself, tug-of-war until your shoes spontaneously decide to emigrate, and barrel rolling that will make you wonder why you ever went to the gym in the first place. The great thing is: you don’t have to have the muscle of a Scottish wrestling champion. It’s about fun, teamwork and the art of not taking yourself too seriously as you and your group try to throw a pole almost bigger than the office itself. In no time, you will discover who is the silent powerhouse of the department, who missed his true calling as a Scottish warrior, and who especially excels at encouraging with way too loud shouts. The Highland Games are no ordinary team building – it’s a wacky adventure where Scottish fighting spirit, hearty laughter and a touch of whisky mentality come together. Because admit it: aiming logs through the air together is just a little more fun than a 64-slide PowerPoint presentation, isn’t it? Would you like me to extend this text to how these Highland Games can be experienced as a company outing in different cities in the Netherlands, complete with funny details for each city?”

    Highland games team building in different cities in the Netherlands

    Imagine this: your colleague in administration who normally just beats piles of invoices suddenly finds herself with a tree trunk in her hands as if preparing for the role of Thor. Or your manager, who always talks about "strong leadership," turns out to be surprisingly less strong when it comes to tug-of-war. That's exactly what the Highland Games do: they bring out the Scot in everyone, with a good dose of humor and healthy competition.

    Get Scotland to the Netherlands

    The great thing is: you don't have to travel to the Scottish Highlands at all to experience this adventure. All of the Netherlands is your playground! In the woods of the Veluwe you throw logs among the squirrels, while the deer are probably thinking, "There they go again." In the bustling heart of Rotterdam, you perform the Highland Games among the skyscrapers, where your log almost seems to compete with the Erasmus Bridge. If you head toward Groningen, then shouting "tjoek" with every throw might be mandatory, because let's face it: Scottish power with a Groningen sobriety is a golden combination. In North Holland, you can experience the Highland Games on the beaches: imagine your colleague trying to roll a barrel with great conviction, but the sea has decided that the barrel can surf along too.

    Get Scotland to the Netherlands

    Possible anywhere in the Netherlands!

    Or opt for Maastricht, where you throw logs overlooking historic buildings and a glass of Limburg vlaai (okay, you don't drink that, but you get the idea) awaits as a reward. And in Utrecht? There you don't have to worry about getting lost in the Dom tower, but you do have to worry about your tree trunk ending up just short of the city canal. It does not really matter where in the Netherlands you play the Highland Games: everywhere your group changes in no time into a clan of belligerent, giggling "Scots". You'll discover who are the born powerhouses, who rely mainly on enthusiasm, and who just come for the pictures. One thing is for sure: laughing together, bumbling together and cheering together produces a team-building experience that will probably be replayed on the shop floor for weeks to come, with office chairs instead of tree trunks.

    Possible anywhere in the Netherlands!

    No way, unless you really want to (and your colleagues are mentally ready for it). The Highland Games are primarily about the games and fun, not your wardrobe.

    Rest assured: we are not throwing sequoias through the air. The logs and props are adapted so everyone can participate, from athletic to office chair athlete.

    No problem! The Highland Games are as much about teamwork, strategy and creative smuggling as they are about muscle. Moreover, there are parts where being smart is more important than being strong.

    To be sure. The games are suitable for men, women, sports fans and people who know sports mostly from Netflix documentaries.

    Yes. Whether you want to play in the middle of the forest, on a meadow or on a large company site - the Highland Games are flexible. As long as there is enough room to swing logs safely through the air.
