NOT YOUR AVERAGE TEAM BUILDING EVENT
Corporate Events
Sailing into Wellness offers an innovative team day out…
From the time you help each other with your life-jackets to listening to our safety briefing you begin to work together as a team, in a different way, in a different environment. Sailing with us needs you to first trust our instructors and then to trust the rest of the crew who are your colleagues.
We provide a group learning environment where everyone on-board has a specific role; to sail the boat efficiently we all need to carry out our roles in tandem with our fellow crew.
YOUR TEAM WILL GET TO GRIPS WITH:
Helming
Steering the boat!
Trimming the sails
Making us go faster!
Sailing lingo
Communication is vital
Learning the ropes
Literally!Social Impact
100% of our profits are used to fund community sailing projects; by sailing with us you are directly funding vulnerable groups to experience a completely new environment on the open sea. We work with those affected by substance abuse and poor mental health, to help build their recovery. Sailing is proven to be a powerful tool in their development. Your contribution helps us to support our participants to overcome both physical and mental challenges in an environment that is both exhilarating and therapeutic.
Sailing Into Wellness is a 2017 Social Entrepreneurs Ireland awardee
