EXERCISE ACTIVE ARCHIPELAGO 23-25 SEPT 2011
- There’s only one way off this island…
And that’s through us!
About the Weekend Army Fitness is hosting another Adventure Weekend Event for 30 people somewhere in the
Stockholm Archipelago. A team of three Military Instructors from the British Armed Forces are
being flown in to create a programme of Fitness sessions, skills lessons and team tasks. You
will be living in former Swedish Navy Barracks – just like your dad when he did ‘Lumpen’. But
don’t worry, you won’t be sleeping much. You’ll go to bed late, and get up very early.
In between you will be on the go for most of the time. If you are awake - you are moving.
We have got a lot to fit into this timetable!
Starting at 18:00 on Friday you will find yourself on a continuous programme including:
Group Fitness Classes
Individual physical and mental challenges
Group Command Tasks
Stretching, running technique, and toning sessions
Skills tests
Team games and social bonding exercises
On Sunday afternoon you will be a different person. You will have achieved more than you
thought was possible. You will be taken to the limit of your endurance and find that, with the
right mental attitude, you can go just that little bit further. You will have new friends and you’ll
know yourself a little better. It’ll be tough, but you’ll have a great time and you’ll want to come
back again for more!
About the Team
Our experienced Instructors range from the Australian and British Armed forces. They know
how to run a group safely through difficult terrain and still have you coming out smiling. Their
qualifications include Mountain Leader, Climbing and Abseiling, Kayak Leader, Parachute
Training, Survival Skills and they are all Military Fitness Instructors. It is our belief that the
essential skills honed in the military are also those needed to run a safe and efficient
teambuilding event: communication, motivation, team work, discipline and logistics.
