Long Point Eco-Adventures hosts corporate retreats for 10 to 100 or more guests, with four meeting spaces, 43 rooms and accommodations on site, and team activities outdoors. It is at 1730 Front Road in St. Williams, Ontario, on the Turkey Point Marsh near Lake Erie.
Seminars and company events
The resort sells retreats year round in three formats: a team day that includes meeting space, lunch, a team activity and refreshments; a one-night stay with lodging, meeting space, meals, a team-building experience and an evening social; and a two-night team escape with several activities and downtime. To plan, you send your group size, dates, goals and approximate budget, and the team proposes accommodation, meals, meeting space and activities, then adjusts the itinerary with you.
Team challenges can be built to a theme. Activities include a zipline tree-top tour on an eight-line course, axe throwing and kayaking on Big Creek, guided hikes and custom team challenges. Wellness options include a sauna, a cold plunge and recovery sessions.
Rooms and capacities
The resort lists four meeting spaces. The Upside Boardroom takes up to 12 people indoors and overlooks the marsh. The Barrel Room takes up to 15 people and looks into the on-site brewery. The Skyview Tower takes up to 30 people indoors. The Forestview Pavilion takes up to 100 people and has a covered patio. That gives a range from a leadership meeting to a full-company session.
Weddings and receptions
The resort also has a weddings page alongside the corporate one. The pages we reviewed do not give wedding capacities or spaces, so confirm those with the team. The Forestview Pavilion, with its covered patio, is the largest space listed.
Accommodation
The resort offers 43 rooms and what it calls unique accommodations, close to the activities. The site does not break down the types or say how many are doubles, so ask for the mix before a group of 40 or more is confirmed.
Catering
The resort provides group dining and catering. On the property are the Wishbone Brewery at the Marsh, the Marshview Patio and Bar and The Spoke. The Burning Kiln Winery is next door, and brewery and winery experiences can be part of a program.
History and setting
The setting is the Long Point area on Lake Erie, with the Turkey Point Marsh, forest trails and a turtle hatchery that runs from June to September. A farmers and artisan market takes place most weekends. These can add a half-day to a program for a group that stays longer.
Getting there
The address is 1730 Front Road, St. Williams, ON N0E 1P0. The site does not give a distance from Toronto or the nearest airport, so ask the team how groups usually arrive and whether transport can be organised.
