Fever
What is it?
Cabin Fever ® is a unique retreat
in location, structure and outcomes.
Cabin fever is a three day, two night event
combining experiential team building, goal
acquisition, personal strength development,
and group bonding in a comfortable retreat
environment.
Cabin
Fever is accomplished in a comfortable setting
in which each person has their personal bedroom
space, but share the rest of the cabin.
The effects of living together and sharing
the same space is incomparable to anything
else you could possible do with your group,
and that is without any additional facilitation.
One
of our qualified professionals facilitates
the framework of the retreat.
Communication, problem solving, coaching,
critical thinking and trust are among the
core elements that are improved through a
series through carefully planned and facilitated
Team Bonding Sessions.
We take care of all the details:
-
Facilitating the entire event
-
Locating the proper setting
-
Preparing the location
-
Procuring all food and beverages
-
Taking care of special needs of the participants
Where
can it be run?
Cabin Fever can run anywhere in the world
. Once we know your budget and number of people,
we find the specific location that fits your
groups and outcomes.
You may want a mountain location in Lake Tahoe,
the Rockies or the Adirondacks. Or perhaps
you want a beach location to give your group
some sun, sand and R&R while working hard
the rest of the time. Florida, Mexico?
You tell us!
You name the desire and we find it for you
and take care of all the details.
Who?
Cabin Fever is designed for groups up to 15.
Larger groups are possible, but will require
sharing of personal space (rooms).
Cabin Fever is intended for executives and
management, but has also worked extremely
well with sales teams, project teams and Boards
of Directors.
The
Goal
There are limitless outcomes from Cabin Fever
depending upon what you want. However, the
framework of Cabin Fever is a progression
of experiential models to improve a groups
overall dynamics and ensures your group goes
back to work on Monday feeling motivated and
inspired.

Sample Sessions/Modules
Below is a sample of several sessions or modules
you can choose from. Several of these may
seem a bit ‘dry’ for a retreat,
but please remember, there are fun group activities
surrounding each of them to provide the energy
and fun that creates a great retreat.
1. Visioning – Great organizations
understand
the importance of a clear and compelling
vision. The main purpose of the envision
process is to create teamwork and synergy
by providing a shared vision of where the
organization is going. Not only does everyone
need to “get it” – they
need to “get excited by it.”
The envision process empowers you to first
discover your organization’s guiding
principles – (central purpose and
core values) and then create your envisioned
future (your courageous goal and a vivid
description of the future). A clear vision
is the foundation for all strategic and
tactical planning.
2. Strategic Planning -- Strategic focus
is very important. Most organizations face
a rapidly changing marketplace that offers
more opportunities and threats that it has
resources to accomplish. The temptation
to do everything can lead to not doing anything
particularly well. If everything is important,
nothing is important.
Planning strategically is about identifying
a limited number of key strategic initiatives
to move successfully into the organization’s
defined future. Implementing a new direction
will bring focus to future activities.
3. Tactical Planning -- A plan is only as
good as it is executed. Many organizations
have a goal “setting” process,
but few have created a successful goal “accomplishment”
process. In the tactical arena it is vital
to create a goal process that ensures success
and accountability for goal
execution. Once key goals are identified,
the process for clearly defining benefits,
success factors, goal periods, entrusting
tasks, monitoring and fine tuning are key
to process for goal
accomplishment.
4. GroundWorks -- The group will learn how
to identify core team values and create
a scalable framework moving forward to reinforce
those values. When new or temporary employees
arrive, they will learn these values because
‘that is the way we
do things around here’. Truly a powerful
tool.
5. Communicating from Personal Strengths
– Individuals gain
valuable insight into their personal strengths
in both non stress and high stress work
periods. Thus allowing individuals to choose
the behavior that will produce the best
results in varying situations.
6. Putting the ‘I’ back in TEIAM
– We have been taught since we were
children that ‘There is no ‘I’
in ‘team’. However, individuals
are accomplishing the work that makes a
team successful. This module helps groups
recognize and value individual contributions
and also creates a powerful personal accountability
tool.
How
much does Cabin Fever cost?
Costs vary depending upon the size of the
group, but many times the cost is no more
than you would spend putting everyone into
a hotel room and procuring meeting space,
plus the cost of facilitation.
Thus, you can have an incredible experience
in a unique setting for no additional cost.
And we take care of all the details!
