The weather changes rapidly in autumn, and this should be taken into account when planning your team day. Some groups prefer the outdoors and activity in nature, while others value a weather-proof option that will keep the schedule firmly on track. This guide will help you choose according to the season and the weather.
Common situations
Autumn is a busy time for team days: the season kicks off, projects are progressing, and employee well-being is a priority before winter. At the same time, the outdoor season is drawing to a close, so it’s best to schedule outdoor activities for early autumn. Indoor activities, on the other hand, work throughout the autumn, regardless of the weather.
Plan the day according to the weather and season
When choosing between an indoor and outdoor option, consider the following:
- Timing. Early autumn offers more scope for outdoor activities. Towards late autumn, a weather-proof indoor option is a safer choice.
- Weather and contingency plan. The weather can vary outdoors, so consider if you need a backup plan.
- Group wish. Would you prefer fresh outdoor air and a physical challenge, or relaxed activities in a warm indoor environment?
- Schedule certainty. If the day's schedule is tight, an indoor space that's independent of the weather will keep the schedule predictable.
## Weatherproof indoor options
Indoor activities work throughout the autumn, regardless of the weather. Active Entertainment's indoor experiences are well-suited for this:
- Laserareena Laser tag played on a multi-level arena. The game modes are designed for teams, and the low barrier to entry is suitable for everyone. A good choice for a playful and competitive team day out.
- Irti Maasta It's indoor climbing, where auto-belays and beginner-friendly routes make it easy to get started.. The guiding staff supports success, and the team gets a physical challenge together.
- Hohtogolf I'm playing mini golf in a glowing environment. It's a casual and social activity that works regardless of the weather, all year round.
## Away option until the end of the season
- Korkee It is an adventure park located in nature, which has several difficulty levels in a supervised environment. It combines movement, nature, and self-challenge, and supports teamwork and group dynamics. Korkee is open from May to October, so early autumn is a good time to book an outdoor adventure. Weekdays often suit groups particularly well.
Safety and practical considerations
Each activity follows its own brand's safety guidelines, and groups will be given clear instructions. Participation requirements may vary depending on the activity, so ensure that your chosen option is suitable for the entire group. Equipment will be arranged according to the chosen activity, and for outdoor activities, participants should be reminded to dress appropriately for the weather.
This is how you proceed
Once you know whether an indoor or outdoor option best suits your group, you can ask for help putting together a day. You can choose a single activity or combine several into one day.
