Corporate Courses

Tracks4life also provide bespoke, half day or full day, events as well as extended courses for your organisation, whatever the size.

Challenge and adventure programmes give exceptional opportunities to bring out the very best in people.  Our overall focus is to draw out and give people ownership of the their core skills and creativity, through providing situations that are a metaphor for the problems and challenges faced by individuals and groups during a typical day, in order to give them a deeper sense of personal self-worth and contentment.  This, in turn, leads to more confident and capable individuals and a more cooperative team.

We are happy to meet with you to discuss your needs and tailor your course accordingly.  We use a mix of indoor and outdoor activities as appropriate.  Please call us to explore what a Tracks4life experience can do for your team.

Jonathan is a qualified NLP Practitioner and a life coach.

At Tracks4life the majority of our 2 day courses are run from a base camp with all the time being spent outdoors. A reasonable level of fitness is required, some camps require you to make short walks over uneven terrain.

For a weekend course, the course will start at 7pm on the Friday and finish around 3pm on the Sunday. Our day courses run from 10am until 4.30pm.

We can offer tailor-made activities for your group (minimum of 4 required), do call us to discuss how we can create your perfect experience.  Bespoke courses carry a £20 per person supplement.

Please note that all Tracks4life courses are self catering - however tea, coffee and hot water will be available 24/7 in camp.
