What if your next corporate retreat truly felt like a retreat? An escape from the hustle of our daily lives to recenter and realign. Nestled along the shores of Elkhart Lake in Wisconsin, your perfect corporate retreat awaits at The Osthoff Resort & Spa. We’ve put together a 3-day retreat itinerary filled with amenities and activities focused on team collaboration, connection, and relaxation.
Day 1: Arrival, Check-In, & Welcome Reception
Afternoon
For Midwest teams, we’re an easy drive away from Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay. You’ll arrive to be greeted by stunning lake views and our helpful staff. After everyone has the chance to settle in, you can host a welcome reception and dinner in one of our flexible meeting spaces, equipped with modern AV capabilities and state-of-the-art technology, or soak up golden hour at one of our lakeside restaurants, outdoor patios, and lounges.
Evening
After everyone has been welcomed, all that’s left to do is sit back and socialize for a while before retiring to one of our cozy, thoughtfully designed suites, where everyone feels upgraded.
Day 2: Collaboration & Team Building
Morning
After a restful night’s sleep, you can start the day with breakfast and fresh-brewed coffee onsite. From there, your team will head into one of our many dedicated meeting spaces for their morning sessions. Whether you prefer classroom, conference, or crescent-style setups, our team can tailor any meeting space to suit your needs. Plus, we have plenty of intimate spaces onsite to accommodate breakout group sessions and lakeside walking paths to stretch your legs.
Afternoon
A full morning of strategy and collaboration calls for a catered lunch prepared by our talented chefs. After enjoying a flavorful meal of local cuisine, the afternoon is yours to enjoy alongside your colleagues. The Osthoff offers a unique selection of group activities, including paddleboarding and boating on Elkhart Lake, onsite cooking classes, wine tastings, yoga, experiencing nearby attractions like Road America and more. No matter the season, our team will help you select activities that will help your team grow closer and recharge.
Evening
As the day unfolds into evening, reconvene the team for dinner at one of our restaurants, banquet spaces, or opt for a more exclusive setting in the Concourse Restaurant private dining room. Conclude the evening with live music and networking opportunities in our Elk Room Lounge.
Day 3: Reflection, Wellness, & Departure
Morning
As your team’s retreat concludes, it is time to enjoy breakfast, pack your belongings, and proceed with a smooth check-out. Take advantage of the remaining time to collaborate on goals and ensure that all event objectives have been accomplished. Sharing one last lunch as a team can help everyone leave with a strong sense of camaraderie.
Afternoon
Making space in your schedule to prioritize your team’s personal well-being demonstrates that you value them, which can positively impact your retention objectives. Check off any experiences you didn’t get the chance to enjoy the day before. Be sure to book an appointment at Aspira spa before returning home, enjoy a round of golf at nearby Quit Qui Oc Golf Club, or reconnect with some thoughtful reflection by the lake or pools. Once you’ve enjoyed some personal time, you and your team will return refreshed and motivated to work towards your goals together.
