About

Team Building

Rookin House offers a range of activities, from Rifle Shooting and Quad Bike Trekking to team based challenges such as Blindfold Reverse Steer 4x4 Driving and bespoke Teamwork Development Packages. All of these can be tailor made to suit your requirements with programmes lasting from a half day, up to a full week. The team building events can focus upon specific work related issues such as aspects of leadership, communication, delegation, etc. With such a variety of activities, Rookin House can offer action packed quality events at very reasonable rates.

Also on offer are group themed events, some of which are based around the Lakes. The Quest for the Holy Grail and The Derwentwater Challenge. These team building events involve a journey around Ullswater or Derwentwater with various challenges along the way.

More traditional Lakeland activities including canoeing, ghyll scrambling, rock climbing and abseiling can also be built into your development day.

So whether you require a purely fun multi-activity corporate away day, a competitive team challenge or a more serious team building event, Rookin House can cater for your requirements.

Command Tasks

These cunning and fun, little tasks put a variety of team working skills to the test. Leadership, communication, planning and support are all required in order to successfully complete each task. As ever with teamwork, planning and talking about it is all very well - but it is the execution of the task that matters. The theory that Joe & Shelia were going to hold on to that rope was all well and good in the planning, but the true test is the 'doing'. You try to remind yourself just which team member it was that spoke up about the rope being too heavy to hold for that long - as your prize slowly sinks in to the river.

It's all about learning by doing and a great way to test out existing team skills or to accelerate new teams getting to know each other. After all, the person who never made a mistake never made anything.


Assault Course

The Assault Course is a popular addition to multi-activity packages, especially for family groups, school, stag and corporate groups. There are suggested full and half day packages including the Assault Course. If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
