Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing has found its niche over time by listening to the needs of our customers. It is through listening that we have developed into a unique, flexible, and adaptable business. WE ROANOKE’S LOCAL CONFERENCE & RETREAT CENTER.

How do we do it?
We have developed a relatively simple plan that allows both our clients and ourselves to discover, communicate, implement, and debrief programs that will have extremely beneficial outcomes.
1. GIVE US THE BASIC DETAILS: By filling out our Pricing Request form online we can provide you with a clear and simple price quote that is totally customized to meet your group’s needs. Whether you are working on a tight budget or want gourmet meals and our highest level of facilitation we can create the perfect trip for your group. All we need is information that tells us how long you plan to stay, when you are hoping to come, number of meals you would like provided, if you are interested in activities and if so which ones.
2. TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF: Once you choose to have your retreat or event at our facility we will work with you to get every detail just the way you like it. Using our pre-arrival questionnaire we can pinpoint the goals and objectives for your overall retreat and any team building or workshops you may be interested in. We have literally hundreds of facilitation activities at our disposal and we will pick the most relevant ones for your group and can develop them into a half day or even an entire weekend worth of exercises. This can be as simple or as complex as you choose. Many companies outline very specific goals for their retreats, and others come just to relax and have fun. If you prefer our facilitators are available to visit your site, meet some of your staff, and even do a presentation if you like.
3. WE’LL DO THE REST: Our staff will then implement the information they gathered into a program that will undoubtedly exceed your expectations. Sample itineraries will be sent to your representative for final approval. Please keep in mind that the tiny details that will make your experience unforgettable are too numerous to put down on paper.
4. ENJOY YOUR EXPERIENCE:Unless otherwise arranged our Facilitators will debrief each activity, as well as the entire experience. Debriefing or processing is a necessary part of instruction. It is the method by which the Facilitator aids participants in making the connection between the activity and the learning experience. Debriefing translates the fun and challenge of an experience into an opportunity for growth and self-awareness. Without processing, the activity is simply an experience with limited outcomes and value. In addition, our Facilitators are available for follow-up visits several weeks after your program. This is an invaluable tool if you’d like to see how your experience transferred back to every-day use.
“The act of learning is the result of reflection upon experience…The purpose of learning is to
gain something new and to put that new skill or information to the test of usefulness. In order to learn, one must be willing to risk exposing oneself to new things, be willing to test the validity of old things in relation to the new, and be willing to form new conclusions…To adventure is to risk exposing oneself to an unknown outcome. Therefore, to learn is to venture into the unknown; to learn is to adventure!”
- K. King, Journal of Experiential Education
