Smart preparation is half the battle….

…also for visitors who want to make the most of their day! A few weeks in advance, each employee received a link to a personalized booking page. On it, everyone could enter all their preferences: from their favorite activity to the BBQ reservation.

During the week of the event, each participant received a packet with entrance bands, tokens for catering and a practical map of the domain. This allowed everyone to fly right into the day carefree.

Free arrival = smooth arrival

No crowds at the start: Familyday’s free start hour ensured an arrival without queues. At the chosen start slot, visitors reported to the appropriate monitor for their first group adventure. Thanks to the extensive signage, everyone found their way smoothly. And then… action!

Something for everyone

From adrenaline to relaxation, everyone found their thing:

  • Regular activities with monitor: laser battle, via ferrata with deathride, team builders, water ski & wakeboard, Highland games, the shooting carousel….
  • Free activities throughout the day: swamp course, the ropes course, the barefoot trail, the caving temple, kayak, pedalo or SUP, bolletra
  • And the little ones? They could have a great time in the kids’ village.

Catering to lick your thumbs and fingers off

So much action makes you hungry. That BBQ buffet was one to say YOU to, with a nice refreshing dessert to finish. Let the pictures speak for themselves….

Good vibes

The atmosphere was great, thanks in part to the fantastic mobile band that filled the entire domain with music. Vacation feeling, check. Strong employer branding, double check!

The result? Happy faces, a boost in team spirit and tons of gratitude from all employees.
