Outdoor cooking as team building offers a different experience with more focus on enjoyment than competition, while still requiring you to collaborate to succeed. When tasks are distributed around the campfire, it becomes natural to work together, blurring the lines between roles and departments. The menu is tailored to the group's wishes and prepared at the rustic outdoor seating area by Fjellstua. Campfire cooking for businesses provides a rare opportunity to create something together in picturesque surroundings, far from meeting rooms and screens.

Outdoor cooking on a company trip is about more than just the food. It's the camaraderie around the campfire that most people remember best. Together with an experienced wilderness chef, you and your colleagues will create a full menu, from starter to dessert, as the aroma of food cooked over an open fire spreads around the rustic outdoor seating area at Fjellstua.
Shared cooking for work groups is just as suitable for small teams as it is for larger departments. The tasks naturally divide amongst participants, with some chopping vegetables, some tending the fire, and others setting the table. Everyone finds their role and contributes to a shared outcome, without the need for prior experience or culinary skills.
When a whole menu needs to be completed at the same time, you must plan, communicate and collaborate along the way. That's precisely why outdoor cooking works so well as a team-building activity. You share tasks, help each other, and find solutions together, without it feeling like an organised team exercise.
Around the campfire, communication becomes natural and informal. The person who usually says the least often takes responsibility for a dish, while others keep an eye on the fire or prepare the ingredients. It is this type of collaboration and good conversation that the team takes back with them to the workplace.
Cooking creates a unique sense of togetherness. When you and your colleagues cook together and gather around the campfire to share the meal, the experience becomes something entirely different from a restaurant visit. You have created something together, and that leaves its mark on both the atmosphere and the conversations around the table.
As evening descends over Refsvatnet and the food is ready for serving, the group is left with a shared experience that lasts long after the campfire has been extinguished. For many, this evening becomes one of the highlights of a corporate stay with us.
Campfire cooking is simple to arrange, and we are happy to help tailor the menu to the group's wishes and needs. Outdoor cooking as a team-building activity can be the highlight of the evening and is easily combined with kayaking, mountain hiking, and a visit to the floating sauna for a complete experience. Get in touch, and we will put together a package that is just right for your group.
