Camp Tekoa Retreats offers corporate retreat facilities designed for the kind of team transformation that happens when people step away from their screens, breathe mountain air, and tackle challenges together in nature. Located in Hendersonville, NC, just minutes from Asheville and some of the most stunning natural landscapes in the Southeast, Camp Tekoa provides everything your team needs for a retreat that actually changes how people connect, communicate, and collaborate.
The Right Corporate Retreat Facilities
The best corporate retreat facilities create an environment where everyday routines fall away. When your team trades a conference room for a mountainside campfire circle, a cubicle for a high ropes course, or a video call for a canoe on a lake, something shifts. Walls come down. Trust builds naturally. Conversations go deeper.
That's the kind of team transformation that Camp Tekoa Retreats was built to deliver. For decades, groups of all sizes have come to our Hendersonville campus and left fundamentally changed, becoming stronger, more aligned, and more connected than when they arrived.
Corporate Retreat Facilities Built for Connection
Camp Tekoa is a conference center and retreat campus located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, near Hendersonville. Our property offers the rare combination of immersive natural beauty, on-site adventure programming, and the practical facilities your corporate group needs to work, eat, sleep, and play — all in one place.
Accommodations for Groups of 20 to 300
One of the biggest challenges in planning Hendersonville corporate retreats is finding a venue that can accommodate your entire group under one roof — or at least on one campus. Camp Tekoa's corporate retreat facilities include 285 beds across 28 rooms in 12 buildings, giving you the flexibility to host teams ranging from intimate leadership groups to full company gatherings of up to 300 people.
Our accommodations include:
- Winterized lodges with heat, Wi-Fi, and handicap accessibility available from mid-October through mid-April (199 beds across 6 buildings)
- Cedar Cabin, our largest accommodation, with 4 rooms, 64 beds, and handicap accessibility
- Laurel Lodge, featuring 4 rooms, 32 beds, Wi-Fi, and a spacious back porch that seats 60 — one of the most popular gathering spots on campus
- William's Cabin, with 24 beds and handicap accessibility
- Multiple cabins with adjoining porches, perfect for informal evening conversations and team bonding
- Adventure Base, offering a rustic glamping experience with 64 beds across 4 shelters and a full-service bath house nearby
This range of options means your corporate group stays together on the same property, building the kind of around-the-clock camaraderie that a scattered hotel booking simply can't replicate.
Meeting and Gathering Spaces
Team transformation doesn't happen in a single room. It happens when groups have access to a variety of spaces that support different types of interaction — from focused strategy sessions to open-air worship and creative brainstorming.
Camp Tekoa's facilities include:
- A dining hall that seats 185, equipped with industrial coffee and tea makers and flexible table configurations
- Laurel Main, a versatile gathering space that seats 75, ideal for presentations, games, and group meals
- Chapel in the Woods, a serene outdoor worship space near the headwater springs of our lake, seating 100
- An open-air pavilion attached to the dining hall, perfect for campfires, S'mores gatherings, and active group events
- A campfire circle overlooking the lake that seats 250, one of the most iconic spots on our campus
- A commercial kitchen with propane stove, two convection ovens, warmers, industrial sinks, and a dishwashing station — available for self-catering or food service for groups of 50 to 200
Whether your agenda calls for a boardroom-style strategy session, a fireside leadership discussion, or an all-hands company meeting, our corporate retreat facilities give you the space to make it happen.
On-Site Adventure Programming: Where Team Transformation Happens
What sets Camp Tekoa apart from traditional Hendersonville corporate retreats is our on-site adventure programming. These aren't generic icebreakers. They're facilitated, challenging, and designed to build genuine trust and teamwork that carries over into the workplace.
High-Energy Team Challenges
For teams ready to push their limits, our extraordinary range of on-site adventure activities create shared experiences that people talk about for years:
- The Big Zip, a fast double zipline that launches from a 45-foot tower in our meadow, with mountain views stretching in every direction. Attached is a Vertical Playground obstacle course that adds an extra layer of challenge.
- The 35-foot High Ropes Course, featuring elements like the pirate's crossing, plank walk, Charlie Chaplin, and jungle swings — each requiring individual courage and team encouragement.
- The 70-Foot Giant Swing, the final element of the high ropes course, where participants start 45 feet in the air and swing 70 feet through the trees. It's easily the most thrilling activity on our campus.
- The Lake Zipline, one of our most popular activities, where participants launch from the wooded shoreline and zip out over our 3-acre spring-fed lake.
- A bouldering wall for climbing challenges at every skill level.
Team Building Through Problem Solving
Not every corporate group wants adrenaline-pumping heights. Our Low Elements Challenge Course offers a suite of ground-level activities that require collective thinking, communication, and strategy to complete. Facilitated by Camp Tekoa staff, these elements are specifically designed to foster growth within teams.
The course includes Low Ropes, Dinosaur Feet, Whale Watch, The Maze, Spider Web, Lilly Pads, 3 Islands, and several additional challenges. Each one presents your team with a problem that can only be solved together — the kind of collaborative experience that translates directly into better workplace performance.
Recreation and Downtime
Team transformation also requires time to breathe, reflect, and connect informally. Our property offers:
- A 3-acre spring-fed lake with swimming, a high dive, a slide, and a rope swing
- Canoes and paddle boats available for group booking
- A professional 18-hole disc golf course spanning 5+ acres with holes ranging from beginner to advanced
- Multiple hiking trails including the Lake Loop Trail, Campsite Loop Trail, Eagle Trail, and a contemplative meditation trail
- A full-size activity field and lighted outdoor basketball court with a covered rainy day pavilion
- Bungo Ball, a Camp Tekoa original sport that mixes dodgeball and handball on our outdoor court
