Escape the Grind, Elevate Your Team
Corporate retreats and offsite events can bond teams, boost productivity, and retain satisfied employees—saving your company major dollars downstream. In an age of remote and hybrid work, opportunities to connect face-to-face are more vital to company culture than ever, but successfully executing a retreat can chew up time and money.
Strategic Retreats Meet Seamless Planning
As a visionary leader, your time is invaluable and allocating resources wisely is second nature. When you partner with Dashing Departures, you’re getting a customized corporate event your employees will talk about for years to come. We’ll handle the details, allowing you to focus on what you do best—guiding your team with passion and purpose.
Why Choose Northern Michigan
Your Accessible Escape
With 18 nonstop flights from major cities like Detroit and Chicago, Traverse City’s convenient Cherry Capital Airport is one of the easiest terminals you’ll ever have to get through. Hitting the road instead? Whether you make Traverse City’s charming downtown your home base or head toward Lake Michigan’s turquoise waters, you’ll have countless options within driving distance.
The Perfect Balance
A corporate retreat that makes an impact involves strategy sessions, individual downtime, and group activities. This means your event requires space to gather, along with the technology that keeps your company running without a hitch. Northern Michigan is ideal for work and play, and we have the inside scoop on which venues and activities will help your team do both.
A Natural Antidote to Stress
Nothing alleviates stress like getting back to nature. Your team can snowshoe through vineyards, brave a ropes course amidst autumn leaves, or simply relax on a salt-free beach. Whatever adventures you desire, northern Michigan is a year-round destination offering outdoor experiences that are sure to lower cortisol levels.
