Group Experiences
Human connection is in our nature.
We’ve all been cooped up inside for a long time. It has been hard to stay truly connected with each other with video calls alone. Now is the time to reconnect and recharge in a fun and active way.
We can brainstorm with you on ways to bring together groups of all ages – from birthday parties and school classes, to business groups and sports teams. We provide a wonderful setting, surrounded by nature, that gives your group the perfect opportunity to reconnect while having fun.
Let us know about the group event you’d like us to consider and let’s talk about the ways we can make it happen. You can book your event online at any time. However, if your desired day appears as “Unavailable” on our booking calendar and your group is 15 or more please contact us as we may be able to set up a special private booking for your group.
