Group Service Projects
The best team building can happen when it’s not about the team. Work with local organizations to plan a river cleanup, package meals at the food bank, assemble kits for students or volunteer in a customized project on-site at your hotel.
Axe-Throwing
Think way outside the conference room by planning a trip to the Axeville Throwing Club, where they say that hatchet-throwing is just “an incredibly more exciting game of darts.”
