The group I am working for is having a two day retreat and they are looking for ideas from the us. It's planned for early December and must be within a 3-4 hour drive of Palo Alto. Ideas that were tossed around included Tahoe, paintball, karting, Yosemite, and golf. Save me from two days of golf I-clubbers and tell me about a fun retreat you went on. Are there any 2 day driving clinics or something in the area? That might be an easy sell.

 

you're limited if it has to be within 3-4 hours of Palo Alto. If you want something relaxing, try googling: Asilomar

It's a nice corporate retreat styled area that my company goes to. we basically go to relax during the day but in the evening we go to a pub rent out the patio and drink and talk. Last year, two of my Indian employees that have never drank in their life was challenged to a beer chugging contest by two cougars - my guys won but were hung over the next morning

 

Theres ropes course in sonoma made for this type of event exactly, went there with my company this year, its pretty fun: Challenge Sonoma Adventure Ropes Course

Ritz-Carlton at Northstar...We're here right now and it is awesome. Ski-in/ski-out access, killer spa, a couple good restaurants, and they have a gondola down to Northstar Village.

 

scotch and hookers!!

 

The things I would suggest would not be appropriate.....LOL

 

instead of paintball... try the real ones.

REEDS in santa clara can rent out guns.

same with TARGET MASTERS in milpitas, but i have a love/hate relationship with them so...

 

Not really a 2 day event without a training course

 

Alright, great suggestions i-clubbers!

I was day dreaming of Skip Barber, but that might be too expensive. Is there an equivalent karting 2 day course somewhere?

How about a rally-x school? Just covered one last month for a company in Hayward, held in Santa Rosa.

 

Links to the rally cross? I can't seem to find anything on Rallycross in the Bay Area that is still coming up.
