Take the Meeting Outside at Plattekill Mountain

 
July 13, 2015 - PRLog -- Have you ever noticed that amazing ideas happen in the most random places, like when you’re in the shower?  Then why try to think “outside the box” in the same old setting, like an office or conference room?  Switching up the environment from a conference room to an outdoor setting might make all the difference in how dynamic a meeting might be.

Research shows that spending time outdoors (Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall) can help improve short-term memory, restore mental energy, reduce stress, improve concentration, and boost creativity and cognitive thinking—all of which will positively affect a meeting’s success.  And, depending on the number of people involved, it could also make the meeting seem a bit more welcoming or personal.  That informal feeling will help loosen everyone up, and make the meeting more productive.

Though hotels are now jumping on the “outdoor” bandwagon, Plattekill Mountain in Roxbury, NY has been getting requests from groups that really want to take their meetings outdoors over the past couple years. The mountain’s location has proven to be the perfect corporate getaway to conduct an employee meeting, client getaway, or appreciation day with an agenda and add in some fun and adventure to a normal day at the office or meeting in the conference room.

During the winter months, Plattekill offers meeting space “plus” an exclusive apres-meeting ski day (no public skiers) with lifts spinning, fully operational ski school, rentals and all the skier services including catering, if requested.

During the warmer months, private mountain usage is also offered with summer activities (i.e., biking, hiking and chairlift rides).  The mountain also offers "glamping" - glamourous camping - hotel quality accommodations in tents that overlook panoramic Catskill Mountain views.

Plattekill’s lodge, like other area resorts, is fully equipped with meeting space, WIFI, large projection screen and catering services.  Air conditioning is available for hot days and warm and cozy fireplaces for crisp, colder days.

So, next time you're looking for a meeting space, instead of making requests for meetings rooms with windows or views, think “outside the box” by heading there -”outside” and head to the mountains.
