Executive Retreat at
Belcampo Farms
This team-building company retreat is designed for executive teams looking for a chance to focus
and discuss with their key colleagues while enjoying a rustic and beautiful farm with amazing food.
The package includes two full days (plus travel day on either side) where you and your team will have
a chance to explore our farm at the foot of Mt. Shasta, enjoying an inspiring and rejuvenating retreat
with colleagues. Your team will eat (and help prepare) delicious farm-centric meals as well as learning
the basics of butchery, meat cookery and open-fire grilling. The retreat is all-inclusive, with participants
lodged in luxury tents near the farm’s orchard and enjoying family-style meals. Participants will have
a chance to stay active through walks and hikes.
