A Change of Setting Can Change the Conversation

Getting away from the office gives teams an opportunity to step outside their usual routines, focus on larger questions and spend meaningful time together.

Clarke Road Retreat feels peaceful and private but is located only five minutes from downtown Picton. Your team can concentrate without feeling isolated—and enjoy Prince Edward County’s restaurants, breweries, wineries, outdoor activities and creative experiences when the work is finished.

Prince Edward County is accessible from Toronto, Ottawa and Kingston, making it a practical meeting point for teams travelling from different parts of Ontario.

A Comfortable Alternative to a Conference Hotel

At a hotel, teams often separate as soon as the scheduled meeting ends. At Clarke Road Retreat, the informal time is part of the experience.

Your team can prepare dinner together, sit around the fire, enjoy the sauna, play a game or continue a promising conversation over coffee the next morning.

These unstructured moments can help colleagues develop stronger relationships and create the trust needed for better collaboration.

Two Kitchens and Flexible Group Meals

Food is often one of the most memorable parts of a retreat, and the house makes feeding a team considerably easier.

Clarke Road Retreat has two complete kitchens, each with a refrigerator, stove and dishwasher. Your group can cook together, assign meal teams, bring in prepared food or arrange for a local chef or caterer.

Options can include:

  • Team-cooked breakfasts and dinners
  • Catered lunches
  • Private-chef dinners at the house
  • Restaurant reservations in Picton
  • Brewery or winery lunches
  • Local farm and specialty-food shopping
  • Cooking competitions or collaborative meal preparation

The second kitchen can also be used as a coffee, snack and beverage station during meetings.
