Enhance your conference or Winthrop Rockefeller Retreat by adding a culinary team building workshop to your Winthrop Rockefeller Institute experience. Winthrop Rockefeller understood the camaraderie, creativity, and connection that come from sharing a great meal. Inspired by his gatherings on Petit Jean Mountain, we’ve designed three hands-on culinary team building workshops that blend teamwork, friendly competition, and just the right amount of challenge.
Rock Chop Challenge
The Rock Chop Challenge is the perfect workshop for groups who love creativity and quick thinking in the kitchen. Teams of 3–4 will receive a basket of mystery ingredients and race against the clock to create a complete meal in under three hours.
Rock Chop Challenge Details
- Cook in our professional culinary kitchen
- Present dishes to judges based on creativity, presentation, and taste
- Enjoy their creations (as amounts allow)
- Savor a chef-prepared meal using the same mystery ingredients
- Participants: 6-20
- Cost per participant: $100
- Time: 2.5 hours
Pizza Challenge
Who can make the most interesting (and delicious) pizza? In this high-energy culinary team building experience, participants are divided into two teams, each split into two groups. One group creates two signature pizzas to impress the judges, while the second group develops a fun, persuasive sales pitch—jingles encouraged!
Everyone is welcome to enjoy their pizza creations (as amounts allow), and the Institute will provide additional food so no one leaves hungry.

- Cost per participant: $75
