From thrilling experiences to deep moments of bonding, our journey was nothing short of spectacular. Here’s a peek into our unforgettable weekend!

Arrival and festivities

A warm welcome and team bonding

After conquering the Belgian traffic, the weekend kicked off with our arrival at Les Ondes. The moment we stepped in, we felt right at home. We launched the festivities with celebratory drinks and a mouth-watering BBQ, expertly prepared by our awesome hosts. While some of us cheered on the Dutch football squad, others chose to unwind in the hot tub and sauna. It was the perfect start to an epic weekend!

Bull's eye!

Triumphs and teamwork

We fuelled up with a hearty breakfast, gearing ourselves for an action-packed day ahead. First up: an exhilarating archery lesson where we honed our skills and had an absolute blast. Our next challenge? Conquering a swamp as a team—thanks to our exceptional teamwork, everyone emerged dry! The morning peaked with an adrenaline-pumping zipline ride through the lush Ardennes canopy.

In the afternoon, we took to the water, rafting down the roaring River Ourthe in an exhilarating race. Back at our base, we enjoyed an outdoor cooking session, crafting delicious pizzas and grilling fresh fish. As dusk settled, we gathered around the campfire, cheering on the Belgian team and revelling in their victory. The night came alive when one of our own took to the decks as DJ, and we danced until the early hours to his infectious beats!

The grand finale

Soaring together

After a quick night's sleep, we woke up bright and early, ready for the weekend's grand finale—a hot air balloon ride over the breathtaking Ardennes! It was a bucket-list dream come true for all of us. As we soared high above the stunning landscape, the peacefulness of the moment gave us time to soak in all the amazing memories we’d made and the way our friendships had grown stronger. The adventure was beyond amazing, bringing us closer in unexpected ways. Post-flight, we enjoyed a delicious lunch together, savouring our last few moments before we had to say goodbye.
