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!

The whole facility is very clean and nice, and it's affiliated with GMU. People from Mason were practicing things like color guard in some of the spaces. The rec center also looks like the run a daycare for parents who work out, so you might want to check it out if you live in PWC. The cost was $10 for adults and $7 for kids. It's the same for those inside and outside of the county. The pool area features: -a big lap pool -a "beach" going in to the leisure pool -splash buckets that topple over! -a "lazy channel"--a very miniature lazy river. It goes pretty slow. Too lazy for us! -a hot tub -a whirlpool section with jets that push you around in a circle! This was my daughter's favorite part! -a very fun looking slide with twists and turns. Must be 48 inches to ride, but it wasn't on today anyway. Not a bad plan B on a cold January day :)

With the wide variety of adventure activities (rock climbing, rafting, kayaking, etc.) to various sports and games my kids absolutely loved it. Communication was great and was good to know they had a 3:1 staffer/student ratio for the more adventurous activities. If we didn't move they would be going this summer. Also, my children are not the most sporty types but they really enjoyed the sports and game times they had each day. They had other options to the more competitive sports games but they still stayed active. It sounded like it was a more laid back fun atmosphere and a very positive experience overall!

Having been a Cub Scout/Webelo/Boy Scout when I was young - I can appreciate this venue for the opportunities it provides the scouting community. It's also used by a variety of other local community groups for their own events. I've been here a few times now over the years - a couple of visits to a Halloween event run by the Boy Scouts called "The Hauntings of Haymarket Hollow," (an outdoor Haunted Trail event for Halloween) which I believe has been discontinued for now. More recently I attended "Pumpkin Pandemonium" - run by the local Gainesville Ruritan Club. PP was a Fall/Halloween themed event to buy Pumpkins and other Autumn themed products, hear live music, have your kids participate in a variety of activities such as pony rides and hay rides, games, and more.

Yes, there are 3 cabins with about 25 beds in the same room, but there's a surprising number of more private rooms (6 rooms that fit 4 people each). Each of these cabins has its own screened porch with a few rocking chairs, which I definitely took advantage of. And if you're so lucky, there is a beautiful lodge that I would expect to find at a ski resort instead of a Boy Scout camp - finished wood walls and floors, 4 rooms with 1 double bed each, a full kitchen, and a living room with a full fireplace. Outside this beautiful lodge, there's a bonfire pit with a stone wall to sit on while enjoying the stars and roasting marshmallows. We were here for a wedding, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
