Luxury Camping is Not an Oxymoron
Camping as an executive retreat or a team building experience brings to mind uncomfortable sleeping bags on the ground, and the general hardships associated with the outdoors. Modern camping can be a world away from the camping experiences of years ago. First, not all camping involves tents, cabins, even luxury cabins, are available. If tents are desired, modern tents can be obtained already set up, wired with electricity. These types of kinder, friendlier sleeping quarters allow the camping experience without unnecessary hardships.
Team building activities can be enjoyed during the day, and evenings sent in relative comfort under the starry skies. The idea of camping as a corporate event is to remove executives from their normal environment, not to subject people to dehydrated food and carrying heavy backpacks all day. Many campgrounds can arrange for team building activities ranging from rafting to rock climbing.
For executive retreats, a well appointed cabin serves the purpose of removing everyone from the stresses of everyday life, while allowing for comfortable evenings spent discussing the days adventures. Activities can range from the easy nature walks to mildly challenging hikes, without subjecting anyone to any real danger. The idea is to leave all cell phones, laptops, and other devices at home. No time tables, and no stress are what make executive getaways a rejuvenating experience.
