Corporate Escapes

Retreats & Adventures At River Valley Lodge
Dare to be Different with an Outdoor Adventure
Hands up how many people have been to the standard Business Retreat? No doubt it was filled with Powerpoint Presentations, long days in the boardroom, and maybe a game of golf for light relief.

Hey, if that is what turns your work life on, who are we to offer you alternatives?

However, if you are one of those business leaders who think that there has to be other ways to get results, then maybe we can help you.

What if the Great Outdoors was the classroom?

Have you ever thought what it would be like to take your team away for a few days. Away where the great outdoors was the classroom?
Summer river fun in Inflatable Kayaks
Where evenings were spent talking around campfires.

Where the days are spent under the open sky, on journeys of discovery.
River Valley Corporate Escapes are not about some sort of “Survivor” program however.

Roughing it is not part of the Program!

You don’t want to be cold, so we provide great gear.

You don’t want to rough it, so on camping trips we provide extra thick sleeping mats and good dry tents.

You don’t want to feel hard done by on the food front either, so food is a focus with great meals.

Well all those features are great, but what is the rationale behind it all?

The Rationale and Benefits of Corporate Adventures

Working with a group of people in the outdoors can enhance communication, teamwork, cooperation and productivity. People are outside their normal environment and are often more honest in their dealings with each other, and themselves.

If you feel that a natural style corporate trip is not enough, we can help by organising professional facilitators to focus your team on specific issues. This focus could be on issues such as management development, productivity, or staff morale.

Taking part in an outdoor adventure, especially one such as our multi day river journeys, can be a great alternative to the more standard executive retreats and can be a great incentive.

Not only that, but these types of programs or retreats also provide an experience that is fun, memorable, and quite different from the normal type of meeting environment.

Company Getaways

Where an overnight river journey is not in your frame of reference, then a River Valley Lodge based program or retreat may be.

1 and 2 Day Adventure Programs can be arranged, based from River Valley Lodge. On many of the activities we can provide a photographer to record your experience together.

Corporate Getaways are about fun, and the team work that can develop from doing adventurous things together.

Great for Business Social Groups.

Customised Adventures

We understand that your company may have very specific requirements, such as number of days, level of physical effort required and so on.

Let us know what you are looking for and let us design a customised adventure or Lodge stay that perfectly meets your requirements.

Multi Activity Adventures

Multi Activity Adventures are a sort of half way house between the wilderness experience of a multi-day river trip, and a single activity or staff day out at River Valley.

The program is based from the Lodge, with everybody returning there each evening. Activities include a mixture of rafting and horse back riding, with the possibility of a heli rafting trip into the gorge section of the Rangitikei Headwaters at the conclusion.

This type of multi activity program is especially suitable where use also needs to be made of the conference and meeting room facilities at the Lodge.

The activity options and number of days can be varied to meet the specific needs of your business
