Executive Off-Sites, Away From the Office
A change of setting can change how a team works. The Poconos are within a few hours of most Northeast cities, with lakes and trails for the downtime between sessions. Use the guides to plan the off-hours; arrange venues and logistics directly with each provider.
What to Keep in Mind
A Real Change of Scenery
Moving from a conference room to a lake or mountain setting helps a team slow down. Pick a destination that matches the season.
Easy to Reach
Most of the region is roughly two hours from New York City and Philadelphia, so a retreat does not need a travel day.
Plan the Time Between Sessions
Trails, lake time and local dining give a team something to do together after the work is done.
What the Guides Cover
- Drive times from major Northeast cities
- Group-friendly hikes and lake time
- Dining ideas for team dinners
- Seasonal activity guides for fall, winter and summer
