Mission<\/h2>

Our goal is to help our clients in the development and implementation of learning and development processes. We do this by creating movement, both literally and figuratively. By doing so, we strive to make learning and development a fun experience for our participants without creating the feeling that they\u2019re \u201cjust playing a game\u201d. The Outing Holland activities are never the goal, but rather the instrument that serves the goal.<\/p><\/div>

How it all started<\/h2>

Outing Holland was founded in 1991 by Remko Sietsma. In our early days we developed a specific method for outdoor training that is characterized by the use of targeted, short-cycle, simple, powerful assignments that are physical yet doable for most people. They\u2019re active methods that can be used in wide array of venues. This approach quickly distinguished our way of working from survival-like activities in the Ardennes, which were very popular at the time.<\/p><\/div>

\"Outdoor<\/p>

Allround and inclusive<\/h2>

Our vision on outdoor training has now become an integral part of experience-oriented methods. Over the years, our arsenal has grown and diversified into the wide array of methods we can offer you.<\/p>

All of this has made us who we are today: an all-round training agency, both within the Netherlands and abroad. With a core team of eight permanent employees and a professional network of trainers, advisors, instructors and supervisors, we are exactly where we need to be. This enables us to work in several countries, with both small and large groups and to offer a wide range of services. From a two-hour meeting, a 24-hour event to multi-year training programs.<\/p>
