The success of a business depends on its employees, and those employees need to be able to connect with their leaders and coworkers. The company’s entire staff needs to share a common vision. After all, it is impossible to make progress unless everyone is on the same page and pushing in the same direction.
With the rise of remote working and advanced digital communication platforms, many businesses now have employees who seldom ever meet each other in person – especially since the the COVID-19 pandemic. Reconnecting face-to-face can be hugely valuable for such companies, and a corporate retreat can be an excellent way to reconnect.
Planning a corporate retreat can be an excellent strategy for coworkers to meet in real life, gain a better understanding of the people they work with every day, and communicate more effectively as a team. Corporate retreats allow employers to strengthen their team and instill the company’s values. Meeting up away from the office is a great way to communicate the company’s long-term goals, improve performance, and create a shared plan for the future of the organization. Gathering in a pleasant (but neutral) location has many advantages over the alienation of remote working or the stifling atmosphere imposed by an office. A corporate retreat puts employees in an environment that is both relaxing and stimulating, which encourages creative thinking and can generate valuable input.
Drumore Mill is the perfect Corporate Retreat Venue
If a corporate retreat is in your company’s future, Drumore Mill is the perfect destination. With towering trees and majestic cliffs, the grounds offer stunning views of The Fishing Creek, which is one of the few rivers in the county with native trout and rare fish species.
Business owners and managers who visit Drumore Mill can take their choice of outdoor spaces and climate controlled indoor spaces for their team to meet in, so events can be held regardless of the season or variations in weather. Indoor areas offer up to 100 seats with excellent views of the surrounding landscape. We also offer a broad suite of communication options featuring WiFi connectivity, user-friendly sound systems, Smart TVs for meetings and presentations, PA systems, and wireless microphones. The team can enjoy a spacious and comfortable gathering no matter its size – whether you’re focused on doing work, fostering connections and bonding between members of your team, or just rewarding your staff by offering them the opportunity to unwind and relax in the beauty of nature.

The surrounding Lancaster County is also one of the most popular tourist destinations in the state of Pennsylvania, meaning your retreat will have plenty to do both on- and off-site. Better yet, Lancaster County has many attractions that cater to people with different interests, and the nearby surrounding counties also have plenty of activities.
Nearby Lancaster County attractions include the Fishing Creek Nature Preserve, Fern Cliff National Preserve, and Susquehannock State Park, Amish communities, countless hiking trails, and many restaurants, breweries and meaderies to end the meeting day in. A tour of a historical attraction related to your business can help instill a sense of tradition and purpose in your team, too. Manufacturers might consider the Cornwall Iron Furnace or National Iron and Steel Heritage Museum, and those in the food and beverage industry might benefit from a tour of the Herr’s Snack Factory, and those in transportation have their choice between the Antique Automobile Club of America Museum, the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, and private museum collections such as Barry’s Car Barn.
