Visit this site and get in contact with one of the organizers. Although they are situated in South Africa, I am sure you will be able to get some info via email.

I have heard excellent news from these guys and planning on doing their tactical course ASAP.

Try http://wilderdom.com/games/InitiativeGames.html The best teambuilding activities are the ones unrelated to the field the participants are in (kind of hard to truely accomplish with a wilderness SAR team, but, it can be done even then). Also, if it's not something they do often, you can go for the c-spine/lbb in the pool. Make everyone take turns being the victim.

Or

3. Drink.
4. Drink.

I remember doing a Team Building exercise with a sales group I worked with once.
We were taking to an area (was an built up island actually) which none of us were familiar with. We were put in groups of 4 per Jeep (some rough, narrow roads there, lol), and sent on a treasure hunt. We were given a map of the area and clues to each new place we had to find for the next clue.
It got us thinking as a team (was also a good way to learn map reading!).
The winning team (first team back, with all the right answers) won a bottle of the local wine each!
Just a thought!

Cheers Enjoynz
