| A Goldilocks version! Not too soft, not too hard. Just right. Great stuff! Thanks. |
| Unfortunately, they later say adventure activities and raids. So I will have to go with something else. :( |

company outings
I think this is an oft-used phrase for any sort of company-sponsored trip or even out of doors.
"Company outings should be a time to kick back, relax and enjoy some sun. Well, maybe. Employers need to stay alert to the potential liabilities that linger whenever they host employees at a company-sponsored event."

Note from asker:
| A good alternative, now that adventues is out. Maybe something a bit more on the extreme side than an outing? |

Emma Goldsmith
: "Outing" is too gentle a word for this. A raid implies competition, adventure and action. There's no relaxing in it.

Extreme corporate adventures
According to the definition in the RAE (see below), a 'raid' is some kind of endurance test, or long-distance trek.
I'm not convinced about my suggestions, though.
Extreme endurance outings
Endurance treks for companies
Some more items in the list might help to give context...

The definition didn't appear:
raid.
1. m. Prueba deportiva en la que los participantes miden su resistencia y la de los vehículos o animales con los que participan recorriendo largas distancias.

Corporate team-building competitions
Having read the asker's comment that this can't be translated as "adventure activities" (as it comes later in the text) we need to go back and think about what "company raids" are in Spanish.
Based on the RAE definition of "raid" as
"Prueba deportiva en la que los participantes miden su resistencia..."
plus what is usually offered at such an event:
http://62.81.160.20/clientes/prepsa/año 2004/enero2004.nsf/0...$file/Raid%20E3.pdf
it seems the emphasis should be on the team spirit that is sought (bearing in mind that these corporate events are usually organised by the company's HR dept)
as explained here:
http://www.profileevents.co.uk/content/team_building.htm
rather than the event itself as the text doesn't specify what activity is being offered.
So my suggestion now is
"corporate team-building competitions"
Hope that helps!
