Community Groups
In addition to our Boy Scout, Venture, and Learning for Life programs, we offer Challenge Course packages for Chartered Organizations, Religious, Educational, Girl Scouting, Community, and Corporate groups. Challenge Course packages can include customized teambuilding programs, Lakeview Lodge Cabins, Dorms, and Conference Center, and custom Lakeview Food Services, plus Boating, Horseback Riding, Target Shooting, climbing, and other programs and facilities. We can customize your program to be a highly motivational experience, to develop a sense of teamwork, or just a fun reward for a job well done.
 
Corporate Programs
After one session on our challenge course, even your most inhibited colleagues will exhibit new strengths and confidence - and carry them back to the workplace. This is anything but a typical business outing.  It's a day at the office you won't want to miss.

Corporate teambuilding adventures include vigorous challenges, extraordinary opportunities and incredible activities.  Call today for information about schedules, fees, conference facilities and overnight accommodations.  It's the ultimate office excursion for your team, your company and yourself.
