Willmar & Spicer: The ideal Corporate Retreat location in Minnesota

Why does your company need a corporate retreat? For many, the simple break from routine that comes with a Corporate Retreat is enough to get new ideas flowing. In addition, socializing with eachother during meals and group activities can build and repair the trust necessary to have productive engagements. Finally, Corporate Retreats can be used to teach a new skill, the extended time together & small group sessions promote open and honest communication.

The Willmar & Spicer area is the Corporate Retreat location of choice in Minnesota for many companies. Consider having your group share transportation on the 90 mile drive from the Twin Cities, this can be a memorable start to your Corporate Retreat. Once in town, attendees can get their hotel room situated at Hampton Inn Spicer, Best Western Willmar, or Holiday Inn Express then have a group meet up at Green Mill Restaurant in Willmar for a light meal and a run-down of the agenda for the retreat.
