Why Have a Corporate Retreat or Business Meeting at Lakeside? An Alternative to the Usual Corporate Conference Center
Our properties offer an alternative to a standard hotel conference room meeting –
fresh air, beautiful lakeside locations, lots of activities (scheduled or for free time). A Lakeside Retreats
meeting is an affordable, fun, and different way to get your employees out of the box and into a new setting –
it's great for sparking new ideas and creative ways of looking at everyday issues.
Meeting Space.
We've got plenty of meeting space. We can configure our space in whatever way you need –
theater-style, classroom-style, u-shape and more.
Team-Building.
From our years in the camp industry we have both the facilities and the manpower for special
team-building activities. In addition to Ropes Courses, we also have several other onsite team-building
activities that foster group dynamics and teamwork. These activities are led by trained facilitators and can
be tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. See Team-Building for more info.
Affordable Lodging & Dining.
No need to spend a mint on a company excursion. Our bunk-style lodging is
comfortable and affordable. We have some private lodging facilities available. Some people shy away from
our type of "camp-style" lodging, concerned that their employees will grumble, however all of our groups
who come LOVE the experience and appreciate the fun and camaraderie that group living can bring. Our family-style meals
are plentiful and nutritious and we offer upscale menus for special events. Our chefs enjoy developing special menus
and can prepare whatever kind of cuisine you desire.
We have several all-inclusive Corporate Retreat & Meeting Packages.
