Plan an unforgettable corporate retreat with Hatch Adventure Travel
Ah, the company retreat.
Every year, select management staffers gather with the corporate bosses, where they spend a day or two bonding on the links while talking shop. Evenings are spent in a hotel bar sipping expensive well drinks while watching a team-building coach parrot brainstorming suggestions on how to streamline widget production on the ubiquitous white board. This, of course, is after the Myers-Briggs personality test has been administered, but before everybody finds out who the judgers and the empaths are over breakfast the next morning.
We've all been there. And we've all wished we were somewhere else.
Well, here's an idea. Take your team of corporate whizzes "somewhere else." Take them fishing.
Fishing, and fly fishing in particular, is proven to lower stress levels, improve focus and put the brain through its paces. It's also a wonderful way to build camaraderie, inject friendly competition into a team of coworkers and, when done right, offer an experience that most won't ever forget.
Imagine the first meal at next corporate meeting or retreat spent gathered around a family-style dining table enjoying incredible Argentine wines and a chef-prepared creation. Envision your next team-building presentation taking place in a spacious lodge overlooking an incredible Arctic lake. This, after you and your team spent a magical day on the water, toying with trophy trout or giant northern pike in one of the most wild settings on the planet.
Say what you will about that gnarly par 5 and that impossible dog leg on the country club course. Fly casting to massive rainbows while, across the river, 900 pounds of brown bear does a bit of fishing of its own is a tad bit more exciting. And the stories your folks will tell of their grand adventure? Priceless.
A corporate fishing retreat offers any company CEO the chance to put their best folks in situations that require thought, planning, deduction and rapid reaction. When it goes correctly, the results are ideal, and the chance to celebrate success is only outdone by the desire to and do it again, only better.
It allows for different personalities to work together and to form cohesive bonds. It helps people to better understand one another, see how others perform under a bit of pressure and appreciate their differences. That it's all being done as people work toward the same goal is but a bonus.
Now is the perfect time to start planning your 2025 corporate getaway, and we can help. We have several destination partners who, with a bit of time to plan, can set aside blocks of rooms — or even entire lodges if your group is big enough — to accommodate your retreat. It's also very likely that, for a larger group, we can negotiate a rate that'll match or beat any golf retreat your team might normally put together.
In addition to a number of different price points for groups of varying sizes, we have destinations positioned all over the globe that offer all kinds of fly fishing, from freshwater trips to the boreal north to tropical adventures on the flats and jungle rivers. We have personally vetted every destination we represent, and we won't send your group anywhere we wouldn't love to go ourselves.
We can also help with luxury retreats for smaller groups (you know, that surly board of directors that needs a bit of convincing now and then) that feature some of the best fishing on earth coupled with white-glove service and incredible hospitality.
We're here to help. Just let us know what you're looking for, and we'll do our best to put together a package that works for you and your team.
