Whether team building, strategic planning, or training, off-site events are critical to building culture and creating a cohesive team. You can rent a sterile hotel conference space or you can bring together your team in a truly retreat-like setting where barriers come down and true creativity and collaboration can occur. A fresh location and fresh air brings fresh perspectives.
Ravens Crest, located in Newburg, MD, feels like home but has amenities like a projector screen hidden in the ceiling of the hand-hewn beams, comfy leather sofas and white board. There are multiple areas for break out sessions including two separate living rooms, a training space in the original parlor and three porches with multiple seating areas. There is space to gather as one group for meals – either in the dining room or on the back porch — both overlook the Potomac River. The kitchen, with commercial oven and extensive refrigeration, make it easy to easy to feed your team — whether cooking together or catered. Space for some overnight guests is also available.
Full Service Retreats
Full service retreats include any combination of planning, catering, training and/or activities that meet your budget.
Catering ranges from boxed lunches to upscale served meals.
Workshops and training can also be included. Your host teaches classes on leadership and communication and we also have a number of other facilitators available. Some topics are Team Dynamics and Communication, Working with People You Don’t Like, Effective Networking, Writing to Get Results, and others.
