Secure a memorable Colorado bonding experience with a whitewater rafting or horseback riding expedition, an arts or food festival, and a day exploring Epic Discovery’s rock walls, mini golf, gold zipline course, roller coaster and more. Afterward, treat yourselves to locally churned artisan ice cream and fresh-baked cookies—Breckenridge has no shortage of sweet shops.

Work-Life Balance

The local zest for life is contagious. You’ll find the mayor mountain biking in between town hall sessions and running his restaurant, teachers kayaking at sunrise and local doctors winning trail races. It’s the Breckenridge way. Meet and crush work goals in the morning and then take an afternoon to hike that peak or raft that river. Cap it all off with a gourmet meal with colleagues. In Breckenridge, it’s easy to relax, try a new sport, explore the backcountry and still achieve the highest level of creativity and productivity.
