At Calliola, we understand the impact that feeling good and happy have on workplace well-being and on being together. A refreshed person that feels good and healthy, naturally creates well-being and enthusiasm around them.
Additional activities and recreational events are an integral part of successful meetings and workplace well-being occasions, as well as of smaller and bigger events at Calliola. In addition, our leisure guests can also enjoy the diverse activities and games on our grounds: there is always something suitable for each season.

Experience by the sea

Our location by the sea in Snappertuna is an experience in itself. The Barösund waterway, which many boaters are familiar with, is near Calliola, as is Elisaari, which is a beautiful place for an outing. Please ask for more information about trips into the archipelago as well as our other fishing and boating programmes.

Wide-ranging variety of activities

Fun, shared experiences among the team are a perfect way to balance out sitting through conferences. Our variety of activities has different kinds of options from simple yard games to complex programmes inside, or outside on land or sea.

We are confident you will find the best options for your events from Calliola’s wide-ranging activity programmes. Calliola staff and our experienced service network provide the programmes professionally. Please ask for more information from our sales services.

Functional learning and enforcing teamwork

We plan various group-work or management-skill requiring programmes, according to needs. The assignments can easily be made a part of the training day, or can be planned to support the training. The programmes can be conducted on land or sea, they can last for a few hours, or they can be outings that last all day. The programmes can be customized according to wishes.

Cooking together à la Calliola

Get acquainted with the world of cooking with a playful competition. At the end of the competition, the Calliola Jury awards the winners.

Lighting up the dark with candles

On this candle-making course, candles are made from beeswax blocks to take home. This course can be taken either as a 40-minute course in between the conference agenda, or a little more time can be booked in order to make several candles. The candles let off a beautiful glow, and everyone’s own handiwork brings them unique character.

Walking outings to the cabin

Explore the archipelago nature with your group. A nice way to end a walking outing is to enjoy a campfire coffee at the Cabin, or to enjoy a delicious meal.

The programme includes making fire and making your own tea, identification of plants, berries and mushrooms, knots to use in life-saving situations, medicines from nature and measuring the height of trees. Useful skills for everyday life! 

Guided picnic bicycle trip

Snowshoe excursion

Even the Native Americans and the Inuit used snowshoes on their wintry hunting expeditions. During this outing, the group is introduced to the required equipment and to how it is used. When following the reindeer paths, the group moves through varying wintry scenery getting acquainted with the knacks of snowshoeing: how to manage a steep upward slope and a descending downward slope. It is possible to have something to eat during the outing, or to combine various problem-solving assignments with the outing.

Nordic ice skating

Nordic skating is for everyone – both for beginners as well as for the more experienced! Enjoy the wonderful, wintry scenery of Snappertuna and the freedom of Nordic skating! For the skating, you need sturdy shoes, e.g., hiking boots or regular thick-soled winter shoes that cover the ankle. The ankles must be supported.
