Retreats

 

Planning retreats in 2024 – 2025

Yes! We are currently hosting and taking bookings for future retreats. Chat with us about how you can successfully come and enjoy the RockRidge Canyon experience together.

Shared experiences are important, refreshing, and wonderful!

Imagine a place where you and your guests wake from comfy beds, go for a pre-breakfast morning walk in the fresh mountain air with hot lattes in hand, the morning fog rising from the lake as the rising sun warms the air and eagles soar above. Or simply stay indoors in a comfy lounge, taking it all in from expansive picture windows. You’re surrounded by nature and it feels good. 

Next it’s breakfast with friends. The inviting scent of fresh baking and hot entrees welcome you all to a wonderful day at RockRidge Canyon. Your morning is filled with a few seminars hosted in lake or canyon view rooms, a coffee break and then, wow, it’s lunch already! More great food prepared by RockRidge Canyon’s Red Seal chefs. 

The afternoon is all about fun and more fun. The Zipline down the mountain and across the lake gets your heart pumping and your face smiling from ear to ear. Then you’re off to the challenge course to step outside your comfort zone – or watch friends power through the high ropes, or leap from The Tower. It’s up to you. Friendly, certified staff walk you through each step. Next, hop on a top-of-the-line mountain bike for a cruise, stopping to scan the incredible vistas and grab a few photos of those “Instagram moments” along the rippling creek. Paddle boards, kayaks and canoes beckon you off the beach to explore the lake. Benches around the property seem to be set in perfect locations to take a break and soak in the sun, or shade. As the weather heats up the pool provides refreshment from the Okanagan sun. And then the dinner bell rings out. 

The day doesn’t end when evening arrives. Stories of the day’s adventures invoke laughter as everyone enjoys another fabulous meal. Then there’s free time. Ping pong, pool, foosball in the expansive rec room. Hanging out over ice-cream in the snack shop. A little retail therapy in The Ridge Trading Co. When it’s time to meet again the beats are pumping in The Rock theatre. You reflect on an amazing day. And then there’s tomorrow…

Planning a retreat? Your groups deserves something special this year. RockRidge Canyon’s experienced Guest Services team is here to make it happen. We’ll walk you through the steps to make your event a success. It’s what we do daily at RockRidge Canyon. This year, experience the extraordinary!

AVAILABILITY

RockRidge Canyon is a popular retreat destination and most groups book months and years in advance. However, occasionally mid week or weekend space open up on short notice. So don’t be shy to ask. We’re happy to work with you to find the right date for your retreat, conference or event.

 

GROUP SIZE

Full week and weekend Retreats and Conferences range from 50 to 450. Mid week day trips or overnights may be lower.

At times we are able to accommodate smaller groups if they are a good match to coincide with a larger, non exclusive booking.

Please contact our Guest Group Coordinator for details.
