TETON VILLAGE, Wyo. (April 5, 2004) Developing business skills such as teamwork, leadership, proactive communication and goal setting is much easier when people learn through activities and they have a fun time in the process. Thats what the outdoor classroom surrounding Jackson Holes new Teton Mountain Lodge & Spa is all about.

Outdoor adventure invigorates people. In the right situation, it also imparts life lessons about working with others, being proactive and taking charge. So along with offering 2,200 square feet of professional meeting space in an outstanding luxury hotel, Teton Mountain Lodge & Spas meeting planners view the outdoor amenities surrounding the Lodge as an opportunity for groups that are serious about business development.

Through a partnership with Grand Dynamics, a Jackson-based company that specializes in fostering business development through adventure- and action-based exercises, Teton Mountain Lodge & Spa offers experiential learning of the highest caliber to yield an adventurous meeting or retreat that will inspire, energize and educate employees.

• Building trust while rock climbing or taking part in a ropes course.
• Bolstering leadership skills through a team-based chili cookoff judged by Teton Mountain Lodge & Spas executive chef.
