By tapping local makers and entrepreneurs, regional history and culture, we help participants experience the world from a new vantage point.

Helping Organizations Support Their People

Social and work constructs have changed. Organizations feel the impact of burnout as they try to maintain engagement and productivity in a new environment. There is fierce competition to attract, engage and retain talented employees. Leaders know they must have a culture that holistically supports their workforce to grow and thrive.

Connect To Build Thriving Communities

Today’s work environments have people longing for meaningful connection. Bring your team together offline outside. Disconnecting from technology fosters spontaneous collaboration and redefines teamwork. Curated outdoor experiences help people reconnect with themselves and their teams, bolster well-being and leadership while connecting with the community and nature. 

 

Methinks the moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow.

Why Outdoor Experiences

The average professional spends 9.3 hours sitting and 7.7 hours sleeping each day. This sedentary lifestyle makes sitting the new smoking. Not only is it bad for people, it’s bad for organizations. 

Why continue this cycle? Take it outside for lasting impact. Make it easy for people to experience joy, reconnect, refresh and grow. They will return with a renewed sense of vitality, a fresh point of view and tangible skills. 

You will: 

  • Encourage meaningful and connected relationships through feedback, candor and cooperation

  • Put titles on pause and create space for vulnerability to organically build trust

  • Unleash creativity to tackle problems from fresh perspectives

  • Inspire movement, self-exploration, team collaboration and community connection that foster resilience

  • Be proud of physical accomplishments

  • Offer unique well-being, creative training, employee recognition and retention opportunities
