In September, the Genetwister employees went out for the yearly day out to encourage team building and enjoying some relaxing activities with each other. The program this year consisted of a bushcraft workshop with the “Burgemeester van Buiten” which included making fire, cooking over the open fire as well as forest shelter building and animal tracking on the Veluwe. After the morning program, we had the opportunity to play Boerengolf near Lunteren. The day ended with a great dinner at a tapas restaurant in Ede. We look back on a fun day full of great activities!
