Company Outing in North Holland: Team Building That Really Works (Without Cell Phones)
Looking for an original company outing in North Holland that does more than just “be fun”?
This is the story of a team that started working together again—for real—without anyone having planned it.
The problem that almost every team recognizes
When an organization from North Holland approached me about a company outing, the conversation wasn't about activities.
Not about entertainment.
Not about fun.
But about this:
👉“We have a good team… but everyone is on their own island.
And honestly?
That's no exception.
In many organizations, you see the same pattern:
departments that work at cross-purposes
colleagues who barely know each other
busy schedules that replace real conversations
Company outings are often used as a solution.
But they rarely solve the real problem.
A unique company outing in the Schoorl Dunes
A few weeks later, this team was in the Schoorl Dunes, a unique location for team-building in North Holland.
No standard program.
No competition.
Just peace and quiet, a beautiful walk, open space, and one simple task:
👉“Find something you’d normally walk right past.”
What Happened During This Team-Building Company Outing
At first, it was quiet.
People searched.
They looked. They hesitated.
But the atmosphere slowly began to change.
Colleagues started showing each other things
People walked toward each other
Conversations arose naturally
What began as an individual assignment turned into a shared experience.
👉 And that’s exactly what good team building is all about: connection.
Why This Team-Building Activity Works Differently
During this company outing, I saw something important happen:
Job titles have disappeared.
Managers.
Employees.
Project Leaders.
Everyone was standing side by side.
Not to perform,
but to discover.
The conversations were no longer about work.
Instead, they were about perspective, perception, and experience.
👉 And that's exactly what leads to better collaboration.
Team building doesn't actually work because of the activities.
It works because it fosters new ways of seeing one another.
What This Company Outing Meant for the Team
Of course, one day won't solve everything.
But this did change:
greater understanding among colleagues
better communication
greater openness within the team
And perhaps most importantly:
👉 People began to see each other as human beings again—not just as job titles.
Why More and More Companies Are Choosing Team-Building Activities in Nature
Companies are increasingly looking for:
Original Company Outings
activities that make a difference
team building outside the workplace
An environment like the Schoorl Dunes helps with that.
Why?
Because it:
brings peace
reduces distractions
creates space for meaningful conversations
👉 And that makes the impact of a company outing much greater.

delays
changes the way people work together
Would you like to organize a unique company outing in North Holland that really makes a difference?
Then it doesn't start with an activity.
👉 But with care.
Ready to get your team working together again—for real?
Most company outings are fun for a day.
But after that, nothing changes.
This is different.
👉 This is a company outing you'll never forget.
👉 Do you work with teams?
👉 Do you organize company outings?
👉 Or do you know someone who needs this?

🎁 A private workshop in the Schoorl Dunes for 2 people as a gift (valued at EUR 195)—for yourself or to give to someone else
My name is Marcel Bakker, photographer and owner of BAKKM Photography. After more than 25 years in the business world, I’ve learned how important attention, calm, and creativity are for people and teams. Photography helps me see things differently, slow down, and reconnect with what really matters. Perhaps that’s the greatest value of this workshop: not just taking better photos, but going home with new energy, inspiration, and a fresh perspective.
