1. Define the retreat’s purpose
Clarify what your group needs—connection, creativity, strategic planning, rest, or nature-based rejuvenation. High Country Lodge’s quiet, forested setting supports all of these beautifully.
2. Identify meaningful outcomes
Choose 3–5 goals you want to accomplish during your stay—better communication, aligned vision, team renewal, or simply unwinding. We’ll shape the flow of the retreat around these.
3. Choose your ideal lodge setup
Decide how you’ll use the lodge: full-lodge rental for total privacy, breakout spaces, forest decks for fresh-air sessions, or the meadow for outdoor activities.
4. Create a clear budget
Factor in lodging, meals, supplies, activities, and any facilitation needs. High Country Lodge offers bundled lodging + experience options that simplify planning.
5. Curate the attendee list intentionally
Bring the group that best supports the retreat’s purpose. The lodge’s intimate, nature-centered atmosphere works wonderfully for groups who thrive with focus and connection.
6. Build a balanced schedule
Design a flow that mixes structured sessions with downtime. Morning coffee on the deck, mid-day workshops, afternoon hikes, and time in the hot tub all support restoration and clarity.
7. Choose experiences that elevate your goals
At High Country Lodge, popular retreat experiences include:
- Guided hikes to nearby scenic areas
- Meditation or yoga on the deck
- Creative strategy sessions by the fire
- Snowshoe or winter forest walks
- Workshops in the great room with panoramic mountain views
8. Plan nourishing group meals
Meals are a core part of the experience. Whether using the lodge kitchen, bringing in a chef, or enjoying communal cooking, food becomes a shared moment of connection and inspiration.
9. Set expectations early
Share your retreat’s purpose, sample itinerary, packing list, and any outdoor activity plans. Let guests know they’re stepping into a space designed for freedom, reflection, and possibility.
10. Assign roles or point people
Identify who manages communication, meals, activities, downtime, and group discussions. This keeps the experience smooth and lets everyone enjoy the lodge fully.
11. Create intentional reflection time
Use the forests, decks, great room, and fire-pit for solo and group reflection. Journaling, open conversation, or quiet time outdoors helps turn insight into transformation.
12. End with clarity and commitment
Wrap up your final morning with defined next steps or shared takeaways. Leave the lodge not just refreshed—but with purpose, unity, and momentum.
We look forward to helping you customize your experience. With privacy and exclusivity.
The High Country Lodge makes for a great opportunity to rejuvenate your team all in one location.
