Survival Course in Nature Teambuilding

Where a true team begins
This isn’t about roles, procedures, or rehearsed answers. This is about fire. About cold. About the moment you find out who truly holds the team together. A survival teambuilding course isn’t just a challenge in the wild – it’s a mirror reflecting how your team really works. In unfamiliar terrain, without comfort, it becomes clear who takes responsibility, who can lead, and who knows how to listen.
Adaptability, resourcefulness, trust – no challenge will be just a game. Each task reflects your team’s true dynamic. You’ll start a fire without matches, build a shelter from nothing, and find water where others see only dry land – and most importantly: you’ll bring those skills back into everyday life, where survival means handling pressure, change, and crisis.
A survival course is a teambuilding experience that won’t vanish with the final slide. It stays with you. And it transforms the way you speak, work, and think together.
An experience that stays with you.
There are moments that end when you leave the place. And then there are those that stay—because they change how you see yourself and the people around you.
A survival course isn't just a set of skills. It's an experience that strips away pretense, reveals essence, and reminds us that true strength shows up when you have nothing - except each other.
Memories fade, but some situations come back again and again. When pressure hits. When change strikes unexpectedly. When a decision can’t be postponed. And that’s when what was born in the woods, by the fire, or in the silence between challenges kicks in. Not because you learned it—but because you lived it.

Program Overview
The day begins with an introductory briefing where participants are introduced to the program, instructors, and safety rules. This is followed by ice-breaking activities and the division into smaller teams. Then the practical part kicks off – learning essential survival skills such as fire starting, shelter building, water sourcing, and trap making.
Team challenges focused on collaboration, communication, and problem-solving are also included. In the next part, participants face simulated crisis scenarios that test their ability to respond under pressure and work strategically in uncomfortable conditions.
The program concludes with a group reflection led by the instructor, the awarding of survival certificates, and the sharing of experiences.
Benefits for your team
- Building trust: Overcoming challenging situations in the field deepens mutual trust and support among team members.
- Improving communication: Survival requires clear and effective communication – the team learns to speak concisely, listen attentively, and respond quickly.
- Developing teamwork: Tasks that cannot be done solo naturally promote role distribution, respect for others, and mutual assistance.
- Supporting problem-solving: Unexpected challenges demand creativity, ingenuity, and adaptability – skills easily transferable to the work environment.
- An experience that unites: Strong shared moments beyond everyday reality foster new relationships and a relaxed atmosphere within the team.
Location
The survival course can be conducted almost anywhere, as long as the terrain conditions and nature of the activities allow it. Most often, we run the program around Prague, Ústí nad Labem, the Krkonoše Mountains, the Jizera Mountains, or the Vysočina region. We will help you choose the perfect location for your team.

Hello Team :) We would like to sincerely thank you for organizing the teambuilding event. The activities were truly excellent, even though at first glance they looked very adrenaline-packed :) In the end, we managed everything, and several colleagues have already approached me to express their thanks for a job well done.

Teambuilding with Hotrock was an experience we won’t forget anytime soon. We spent two days together, going through a survival course and racing in our own F1 cars. It was educational, adventurous, fun… and above all, deeply human.
Nikola Dubai Operations & HR Specialist | Vocalls Inc s.r.o.
We went for something a bit more “unusual” and “action-packed.” We chose a survival teambuilding in the wild. With a mix of fear and excitement, we set off for six hours in the area around Tiské stěny – climbing hills, crawling into a narrow cave, starting a fire, rappelling off a cliff, shooting a bow.
Štěpánka Hessová Sales Department | Magna Automotive (CZ) s.r.o.
HOTROCK s.r.o. was recommended to us to create a team building activity for our management team. From the very beginning, the collaboration was excellent—they recommended, tailored, and clearly explained a solution that ultimately exceeded our expectations, even though we had only 4 hours for the entire activity.
Michaela Palánová HR Manager | JOTUN CZECH a.s.
We regularly organize corporate events for our clients, and it’s not easy to come up with fresh ideas all the time. While searching for inspiration, we discovered HOTROCK agency, whose adrenaline-filled programs caught our attention. Our client will not forget the “Survival Day” anytime soon, and we are already thinking about the next event.
