Group Activities

One of the most popular reasons for planning and implementing corporate and group retreats is to promote teamwork and a sense of community. Activities at Whitestone, or in the nearby area, that focus on team building together are river rafting, rock climbing, intellectually challenging games, and friendly sports competitions such as basketball, volleyball, horseshoes and more. Another great idea is an organized team scavenger hunt. Participants have so much fun that they don’t realize until later how much they have learned from the activities. Our wilderness location also has many activities that promote rest and relaxation, such as fishing, hiking, massages, and birding.
