Afternoon or full day

An afternoon or a full day

A half day and a full day need a different structure, and that's often overlooked when planning. An afternoon is one arc: start, build-up, high point, wrap-up. That works because attention doesn't fade in three to four hours. In a full day it does, usually around half past two. Anyone who then plans another activity of the same kind watches the energy drain from the group without anyone complaining.

For a full day we therefore build in a change of format, not just of content. Something physical in the morning and something more sedentary afterwards, or the other way round. We also schedule a moment when nothing is required, because without a break the rest doesn't work. For an afternoon none of that is needed and it would take the pace out. A half day starts at €195. If you're torn between the two, choose an afternoon: a good afternoon sticks better than a day that fizzles out at the end.

What an afternoon needs

  • One continuous build-up without a long break
  • A quick start, because time is limited
  • A clear high point at the end

What a full day needs on top

  • A change of format, not just of subject
  • A moment when nothing is required
  • A second peak after the dip at half past two

Frequently asked questions

How long does a company outing usually last?

Most company outings last three to four hours, so a half day. A full day is for larger groups or when several activities follow one another, and then we deliberately build in a break and a change of format.

What does a full day cost compared with an afternoon?

For a half day the starting price is €195. A full day costs more, because more activities, more equipment and more hosting are added. After the first conversation you'll get a firm price instead of a rough figure.

We also have a team outing planned. What's the difference?

A team outing is about one team spending a day together, while a company outing is broader and more often involves the whole company or several departments. For Apeldoorn we also have a separate page about team outings, with the emphasis on a programme that follows on from a meeting.
