Kroger Company Event

Corporate Retreat Venues near Roanoke, VA

Covid 19 was 2020, now it's 2021 and after all their dedication to safety standards and professional development, Kroger thought it was time for employees that haven't had the opportunity to come together in months to meet at The Preserve for their annual Fall Meeting. They selected The Preserve because they felt that it was the perfect place to socially distance and enjoy outside, covered venues together as a team. Here are some examples and activities from just one company's corporate retreat. We got rave reviews and hopefully another booking for next year!

Itinerary Included

• Daily Business Meetings - Catered Lunch & Dinner Wednesday, Breakfast & Lunch Thursday

• Wednesday - Ax throwing, frisbee golf, stand up paddle boards, pedal boats, fly fishing instruction

• Lodging - 6 Cabins & 2 Airstreams

• Thursday - Departure
