Everybody had a great time on this Texas corporate retreat, and we have the pictures to prove it.

Call Carol at 713-301-3235 to schedule your Texas corporate retreat today.

At BlissWood B&B, we’ve hosted corporate retreats for organizations of all sizes. We understand what factors are most important for creating an environment for executives and co-workers to build team cohesiveness, foster creative thinking, and—ultimately—relax in a calm setting outside the office.

A Few Corporate Retreat Ideas to Get You Started

Here are just a few corporate retreat ideas to help get the creative juices flowing. If you have an idea of your own and want to see if we can arrange to have it take place at our working Texas ranch, give us a call at 713-301-3235. Our accommodations include 14 houses, cabins, and suites so there’s sure to be room for everybody.

Golfing

Golfing is a popular choice for corporate retreats. It’s fun, challenging, and it gives you and your co-workers the opportunity to discuss the future of your business in a relaxed environment. That is unless your having a bad day on the links. Then it’s a good chance for you to exercise patience.

There are two golf courses for you to choose from in the surrounding area—The Falls and River Ridge.

Horseback Riding

Have you ever dreamed of becoming a cowboy, riding the dusty trail on your trusty steed? Who hasn’t?

Seeing the Texas Hill Country on horseback is beyond comparison, and it’s sure to create lasting memories for you and your co-workers to share for years to come. Nothing builds team cohesiveness like shared experience.

Fishing

The fast-paced world of business can be exciting at times. But everybody needs to slow down once in awhile and enjoy the simple things in life. Fishing is quite possibly one of the most laid-back activities you can do (if you’re doing it right), and you’ll have lots of time to get to know the people you work with everyday and discuss ways to improve the business.

Trapshooting

For those of you that want a little more excitement out of your corporate retreat, consider trapshooting. Trapshooting is a great way to blow off some steam and have a good time in the country.

Archery

Like trapshooting, archery is a fun way to blow off some steam and build lasting memories with your employees. Even if you’ve never held a bow in your whole life, you can develop a new skill and have plenty of chances to use this activity as a springboard to talk about setting goals and shooting for targets in your industry.

Working Cattle

BlissWood B&B is located on Lehmann Legacy Ranch, a 650-acre working ranch in Cat Spring, Texas. For your next corporate retreat, we can arrange an opportunity for you and your employees to assist in working cattle with a trained cowhand. This exercise requires strong teamwork and is not for the faint of heart. But it will certainly be a memorable experience for all.

Even More Corporate Retreat Ideas

This list of corporate retreat ideas is only the beginning. At BlissWood B&B, we want to make your next corporate retreat an unforgettable event for you and your employees. We can help you find ways to combine the activities listed above with even more corporate retreat ideas.

Call us at 713-301-3235, and let us turn your corporate retreat ideas into reality!

Yet, with all these forms of high-speed communication, we never get to sit down together and really talk.

Only in a calm, relaxed environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, can we take the time to get to know the people we work with, learn their strengths and our own, and build a truly cohesive team.

That’s what corporate retreats are all about—stepping out of the office, relaxing with your coworkers and employees, and taking a good hard look at your business from an outside perspective. This is where new, ground-breaking ideas and stronger business teams are formed.

A World of Possibilities

No other place in the entire United States can offer you the fresh air and space you need for your corporate retreat than Texas—particularly in a place that’s away from the big city.

Imagine, for a moment, riding on horseback through rolling meadows and tall oak forests, across bubbling creeks and past serene ponds with the people you work with everyday, building stronger bonds through shared experiences that don’t involve client meetings and conference calls.

Maybe you would enjoy discussing the latest industry trends affecting your business while fishing for bass and catfish in a fully stocked pond, or building team cohesiveness by working cattle on a real Texas ranch.

On our Texas ranch, you can do it all:

• Horseback riding
• Archery
• Trapshooting
• Tomahawk/knife throwing
• Paddle boat/john boat racing
• Frisbee golfing
• Catfish and bass fishing
• Scavenger hunting
• Working cattle
• And more!

Every activity is designed to provide you with an opportunity to connect with your coworkers in a peaceful setting and focus on the goals that your team needs to accomplish.

Business Success at BlissWood B&B

Why not escape from the stress of the big city for awhile and reconnect with your coworkers? You will have a stronger, more formidable team because of it with new ideas and lower stress levels to take back to the office with you.

Let us help you design a custom package that caters to your next corporate retreat. We have detail-oriented event coordinators on hand to help with planning and to make your corporate retreat a fruitful success.

BlissWood Bed and Breakfast is a great place for brainstorming, team building, and having fun. Accommodations include 14 houses, cabins, and suites and plenty of open space on our 650-acre working ranch.
