As you’d imagine, Team BHP have a lot of friends. One of the big advantages of having so many friends is that you get invited to some pretty cool stuff, and what could be cooler than a team building exercise where you get to shoot people with tiny balls of paint?
Let me tell you: nothing.
This got us thinking though - if playing paintball can be classed as team building, then holiday parks are a veritable feast of back-slapping, high-fiving, relationship-making activites waiting to be discovered. I myself am off to Elvedon Forest in Suffolk to visit Center Parcs later this month and looking at the brochure that recently fell through my letterbox, it would be a team builders dream come true. Here are just some of the activites on offer:
- Quad Biking
- Abseiling
- Golf
- Climbing
- High Ropes
- Challenge Course
- Horse Riding
- Sailing
The list goes on and on. So, the next time your boss wants to take your office out for team building, why not stick your hand up and suggest one of our countries finest holiday destinations? We’re sure you won’t be dissapointed.

…and while these activities may not actually make your team any stronger, at least you can have some fun together (not being sarcastic).
There are not many activities more enjoyable than “shoot people with tiny balls of paint?” Trust me, I speak from experience. There is nothing more fun.
