Top 7 Activities for Team Bonding at Journey to The Well
When it comes to building a strong, connected team, nothing beats shared experiences that foster authentic connection — and that’s exactly what you’ll find at Journey to The Well. Nestled on 600 acres of peaceful woodland in Southwest Michigan, our retreat center offers more than just meeting rooms. We provide a natural playground where your team can relax, recharge, and build bonds that last far beyond the workday.
Here are the top 7 activities that help teams at Journey to The Well break down barriers, build trust, and create memories together:
1. Golf Cart Trail Rides
Explore our expansive grounds with casual golf cart rides that encourage conversation and connection. Riding together offers a laid-back way for team members to chat, laugh, and enjoy nature without distractions.
2. Pontoon Boating on the Lake
A serene pontoon boat ride on our on-site lake is the perfect opportunity for your team to unwind and enjoy the calm waters. Shared adventures like boating foster camaraderie and a sense of shared discovery.
3. Walking the 600-Acre Trails
Fresh air and a bit of physical activity do wonders for team energy. Our trails wind through peaceful woods and open fields, giving your team a chance to reset, refresh, and connect while moving together.
4. Campfire Evenings
Gathering around a fire is one of the most timeless ways to bond. Evening campfires at Journey to The Well invite storytelling, reflection, and genuine conversation in a cozy, unplugged environment.
5. Hunting In Our Blinds
For teams that enjoy the outdoors and want a unique bonding experience, hunting from our well-maintained blinds offers quiet time together in nature. This activity requires participants to bring their own equipment and supplies, making it a self-guided opportunity for those who want to connect through shared patience and appreciation of the natural world.
6. Guided Reflection or Journaling Walks
Sometimes, the best connections happen when there’s room for quiet reflection. Guided journaling prompts paired with walks through nature encourage vulnerability and meaningful sharing among team members.
7. Leadership workshops
For teams focused on growth and development, our customized leadership workshops offer a powerful opportunity to build skills and strengthen collaboration. Led by our Executive Director, a certified Townsend Leadership Program Director, these sessions combine expert guidance with the peaceful setting of Journey to The Well — helping your team unlock their full potential together.
Why These Activities Matter
Team bonding is about more than just fun — it’s a foundation for better communication, stronger relationships, and increased collaboration back at work. At Journey to The Well, we believe that when your team steps away from the daily grind and shares authentic moments in nature, the result is renewed energy and unity that lasts.
