A yearly tradition of a company that invests in its people. And a bridge between generations.
26 people, Una, Kozara and Banja Luka. Colleagues who spent years building the company and a new generation just arriving – on the same river, around the same fire.
The challenge
Rilex wanted to reward a team that has worked at full speed for years. That team brings together people with decades of experience and younger colleagues who have only just joined – a wide gap in age and experience, and few chances to get to know each other beyond the work.
The question was not how to entertain them, but how experience and new energy could truly accept each other.
The programme
We started on the Una – a campfire by the river, stories and the first honest conversations. The next day, kayaks down the rapids of the Una: a day full of endorphins and excitement. Then Kozara, with mountain air and a pub quiz full of laughter. To finish, Banja Luka – a karting race, a farewell party and a night in the city.
The topics we opened
When experience becomes a brake
Experience is a team’s greatest asset – until it becomes the reason things are done “the way they’ve always been done”. We talked about when experience drives growth and when it holds it back, and how to change position without losing what has been built.
Authentic experiences bridge generations
In the same gear, facing the same rapid, age and seniority stop mattering. A shared experience gives what no meeting can: a story everyone owns, and a new source of energy and motivation.
Into the unknown – together
Kayaking down the Una’s rapids was a personal challenge, not a sporting one. For some it meant facing a fear of water or weaker swimming skills. With the team alongside, licensed guides and the right gear, stepping past a personal limit becomes possible.

In their words
“Getting back to nature and spending time together around the campfire is priceless. From 1 to 10, it was a 10 – we’ll be back!”

“The way you got us talking to each other as a team was perfect. After these few days I can see that we are actually a pretty strong team!”

“By the fire you gave us so many ideas to talk to each other and share our experiences! I’d gladly come back next year.”
