The Institute serves our mission through a combination of place, people, and process. One way we do this is by inviting groups to have their important meetings on our campus using our conference facilities. Our clients come from many sectors, including business, education, government, and nonprofit. Institute staff also provide facilitation services, host programs, and deliver workshops.
If you have a need to bring people together, we want you to do your important, collaborative work here.
Conference Facilities
The Plan a Meeting section of our website provides much more information about our conference facilities, meeting and lodging rooms, dining options, and the amenities that encourage your group to relax and recharge together.
Workshops, Activities, and Amenities
If your group would enjoy team building activities, we have options unique to the Institute and our mountaintop location.
Culinary Team Building
Your group will take over our professional, educational kitchen in the Rock Chop or Pizza Challenge. Enjoy a little friendly competition and have a memorable time together.
You can cut out the competition aspect and enjoy wine and dessert-tasting with “Sips and Sweets.”
Activities, Sports, and S’mores
Keep it casual with bocce or horseshoes, or take it up a notch with volleyball and tennis.
We can have kayaks and canoes ready to paddle on Lake Abby. You can also request a fire in one of our many outdoor fire pits and have s’mores — even if our kitchen staff already wowed you with dessert.
Professional Development Workshops
Leadership training and collaborative problem solving are our specialties.
Our workshops are based on the Rockefeller Ethic and delivered by our trained staff facilitators. They can be booked as standalone experiences or added to conferences already scheduled at the Institute.
Is connection and teamwork the priority, not an agenda?
We have just the thing — a mountaintop retreat! The Winthrop Rockefeller Retreat is perfect for groups of up to 10. All retreat attendees are in a private building with a communal kitchen, living room, patio, and no other guests. Make yourselves at home and take advantage of the fun activities on our beautiful mountaintop campus!
