After 230 Years Of Wind, Rain And Sun, The Cabin At Whispering Creek Is Finally Ready For You And Your Team’s Experience. Originally British owned, weathered for decades, the hand-hewn beams, random width planks and massive logs are signatures of people who lived before our country was born.

There are a few places in the world where time seems reluctant to move forward. Whispering Creek, tucked away in a quiet corner of the South Central Pennsylvania Appalachian Mountains, is one such rare retreat. What began in the late 1700’s as a home and business to Patrick Cassiday, a self-made wealthy local land entrepreneur and surveyor, the cabin at Whispering Creek has come full circle and returned to its surveying and business roots. Only now, it is a haven for organizations like yours to survey their business, plot initiatives and undertake activities for successful growth.

A place of extraordinary beauty, it offers an opportunity for both quality leisure-time and custom driven productive meetings. The main cabin is warm and inviting with high-beamed ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace and charming covered porches. All of which provides a genuine sense of comfort and the perfect backdrop for experiencing a full range of renewing, one-of-a-kind business experiences.

Get-togethers at Whispering Creek need not be confined to traditional meeting spaces. Outdoor meeting areas are especially popular for informal gatherings of any size.

Are Retreats Right For Our Organization?
The success of any business, large or small, depends greatly upon collaboration versus competition within the organization. A corporate retreat works toward the benefit of any organization by developing team morale, establishing trust and highlighting those key elements that turn a loosely bound group of individuals into a dynamic and inspired team. *(Even if your organization currently has an established training program, the reintroduction of skills under different circumstances continues to reinforce the lessons of consistent training.)

 The Relevance Of Team Building Retreats To The Organization
The philosophy behind the retreat is to teach individuals the elements of team building by placing participants in an unfamiliar environment in which everyone must work together to complete a task. These activities break down the hierarchy of the office setting; participants must learn to communicate, set goals, and delegate, beginning at ground zero. Conceptually, the strategy and teamwork involved in a game at Whispering Creek relates directly to the internal dynamics necessary for any company, large or small, to succeed in business.

A Different Experience Every Time
We have developed a number of varied independent sessions, between four and one-half hour blocks and two-day events. These sessions consist of progressive Whispering Creek developmental processes through which new skills are presented, processed, and reinforced. Variations have been created to accommodate both novice and seasoned individuals. Some areas that may be covered include: Communication, Goal Setting, Conflict Resolution, Team Building, Motivation, Leadership, Problem Solving, and other specific skills that include just having fun.
