Sometimes they'd go to the park in Clifton (for a lot of the same team building exercises my wife's company had done there); on another day, the kids went caving; and on another day, they went canoeing and swimming. Every evening, she would come back exhausted and happy. What more can you ask for?

Most people know Adventure Links for their popular camp programs for children and teens. However, they also offer stellar corporate team building programs, which is how I got to know them. About five years ago, as the CEO of a growing company of 20 professionals, I was struggling with how to address some growing pains and spice up our upcoming quarterly retreat. A friend recommended Adventure Links, so I scheduled a meeting with Anna, the CEO. Anna came to my office and interviewed me to understand my business, our challenges, and what I hoped to accomplish. She asked many questions, listened, and took notes. The next week, we took our team of 20 to their retreat location. Anna and her team had put together an all-day agenda of activities that went way beyond simple ropes courses. What surprised and "sold" me on them was how she'd managed to incorporate our growing pains into her exercises in meaningful ways. Sure, we had fun and bonded, but more importantly most of us began to see certain everyday problems in meaningful new ways, with fresh solutions. To this day our team references those exercises like old Seinfeld episodes. After each exercise - some physically challenging and all mentally challenging - Anna would bring us together and help us draw correlations to some of our corporate issues. It helped that she has a sharp wit and great sense of humor. She and her team also knew when to push and put us on the spot to drive home a point. Six months later, we wanted to bring Adventure Links back for another quarterly retreat, but this time due to bad weather we had to do the exercises in our office. They totally pulled it off! The indoor exercises were unique and again gave us a fresh perspective on both issues and people. An example - during one intense exercise where we split into two teams, a junior staff person had a "eureka!" moment with a brilliant solution to a problem, and spontaneously took control of our team, which included several executives. I had no idea this young lady was so intellectually gifted and capable of leadership under pressure. How valuable is that information for an employer? My firm has engaged Adventure Links several times since then, all with success. When my children are old enough, I'll be sending them to the Adventure Links camps...I know they'll learn and have fun. Adventure Links rocks!

This is a fun activity for the whole family. The owner, a former teacher who turned her hobby into a business, is great with kids. There are small bits of glass around, so it's not for super little ones. Optimal for a group experience or making a gift for someone special. Tip-If you're visiting from out of town, they will mail you your creation (it needs to be fired several times and takes a few days).

We chatted with Sarah (Retreats Director) on all the details and booked Camp Friendship without hesitation. When COVID shifted our plans, we ultimately eloped and postponed the party until 2021. Sarah was attentive and accommodating throughout the roller coaster of emotions, plan B's, and even plan C's. When we finally hosted our "anniversary party" in 2021, we were honestly blown away with how perfect the weekend was. Over and over again, my partner and I would comment on how amazing the staff were. They made the weekend seamless and magical from start to finish. Our biggest regret was that we didn't book MORE meals and activities through Camp Friendship, rather than some outside vendors we had booked. We couldn't recommend them highly enough! And we hope to go back for a future retreat of some kind and/or send our future children there.
