From Lab Coats to Farm Fields

September 6, 2016
This year’s lab retreat was a unique mix of farmyard fun, playful competition, and sporting spirit.

We started the day with Boerderijspelen, where FarmFun organized a variety of original farm-themed games. Dressed in farmer outfits, the team took on challenges like horseshoe throwing, hay sack tossing, wheelbarrow and clog races, tractor tire bowling, and even cow milking.

The energy only went up from there with a hilarious round of bumper balls, where teamwork and balance were tested in a whole new way with plenty of laughter guaranteed.

In the afternoon, the farm boots gave way to golf shoes as the group rounded off the day with a session of golf on the farm, adding a more relaxed yet competitive twist.

The combination of farm games, bumper ball chaos, and golf made for a retreat to remember, a perfect recipe for bonding, laughter, and team spirit.
