Corporate Retreats in Bend

Bend puts rivers, mountains and high desert within minutes of each other, and the town itself is walkable, relaxed and full of good food and craft beer. It gets more than 300 sunny days a year, so outdoor sessions and activities are easy to plan.

It depends on your group. Brasada Ranch has 190 rooms and cabins on a hilltop in Powell Butte, with more than 12,000 square feet of meeting space and wide views of the Cascades. Sunriver Resort has 245 rooms and suites along the Deschutes River and more than 30,000 square feet of meeting space, so it suits the largest teams. Tetherow has 50 rooms on 700 acres at the edge of the Deschutes National Forest, 10 minutes from downtown Bend, a strong fit for smaller groups. We’ll recommend the best fit for your group size, goals and budget.

Yes. Sunriver is about 15 miles south of Bend, closer to Mt. Bachelor and the Lava Lands. Many teams stay there and come into Bend for dinner, or split the trip between the two.

June through September brings warm, dry days and the best river and trail season. Fall has cool mornings and quieter trails. Winter brings skiing at Mt. Bachelor and snowshoeing, and spring is mild with occasional snow at higher elevations.

Most groups fly into Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM), about 20 minutes from Brasada Ranch and about 30 to 45 minutes from Bend and Sunriver, with direct flights from several West Coast hubs. Portland (PDX) is about 3.5 hours by car. Wilder coordinates group transfers from either airport.

Beyond the featured experiences, teams can paddleboard the Deschutes through town, hike at Smith Rock State Park, tour a local brewery, visit the High Desert Museum or ski and snowshoe at Mt. Bachelor in winter. Wilder builds the itinerary around your team’s interests and goals.

Yes. Sunriver Resort has an 18,000-square-foot ballroom and room for large groups, and Brasada Ranch can host about 100 comfortably. We’ll plan the room blocks, meeting space and transfers so it runs smoothly.

Yes. We use lawns, patios and fire pits with mountain views for sessions when the weather allows, and time outside tends to spark better conversations than a windowless ballroom.

Yes. Rafting trips come in calmer and more exciting sections, trails range from flat paved paths to steeper climbs, and the Lava Lands tour needs no hiking experience. We plan every day so the whole team can join in.

Bring layers, since high-desert mornings and evenings are cool even in summer. Add sunscreen, sturdy shoes, a water bottle and a warm jacket for the evening fire. We send every team a packing list before the trip.

Wilder handles every logistical detail, saving internal teams an average of 100+ planning hours. We build each itinerary around your business goals, so the sessions, activities and downtime all support what you want your team to leave with.
