retreats 

GEN-D believes relationships and connections provide the optimal source of impact to one’s family and community.  The best way to accomplish this goal is to immerse yourself in a retreat experience.  Bonding and hard work are natural outflows from the opportunity to engage in conversation late at night within living quarters or in the early morning over coffee.

We plan and manage a top-level retreat, coordinating the logistics for you.  Create long-lasting relationships that will deepen the connection in your family, business, or organization.

Athletic events

At the Summit, GEN-D manages a NBA tournament-sized gym for practices, scrimmages and tournaments for local and traveling teams.  This space includes a top-of-line, wooden basketball court with the option of converting to two regulation-sized basketball courts for simultaneous play – perfect for holding tournaments.

The space also includes access to full-sized locker rooms as well as a fitness and weight center.  This space is equipped to be used for basketball, volleyball, and pickleball.

I have done many trainings (at the Summit) with quite a number of groups.  It is absolutely, without question, my favorite place to provide training.  It is a top drawer environment to do so . . . Every time I hear a training is going to be at that location, I give two thumbs up.

Your team is amazing.  I’ve been a facilitator at many venues.  I’m usually the one worrying about the small details of the training sessions.  I usually leave these sessions exhausted.  With your help, I feel like I could go out and do this again tomorrow!
