Small Team & Retreat Experiences
Move beyond the standard team meal with an experience your group creates together. Apex designs guided culinary sessions for small teams, leadership groups, retreat guests, and organizations seeking a shared activity that feels useful, relaxed, and genuinely engaging. Participants may work in pairs, rotate through responsibilities, or collaborate in small teams to complete a menu. Cooking naturally brings communication, timing, problem-solving, and shared ownership into the room—without turning the experience into a lecture or forced exercise.
Ideal group size
Typically 6–20 guests. The final capacity depends on the venue, kitchen access, menu, staffing, and whether the experience uses stations, demonstrations, or team challenges.
Locations
Retreat centers, workplace kitchens, private venues, vacation properties, and approved event spaces throughout the Hudson Valley service area.
Typical length
Formats may range from a focused 30-minute culinary activity to a 90-minute workshop or a 2hour cook-and-share experience.
Included:
Collaborative planning, a selected menu or theme, ingredients, facilitation, cooking instruction, and standard supplies. Staffing, venue fees, specialty equipment, rentals, beverages, and service needs are quoted as appropriate.
Menus + themes
The experience is chosen according to the group’s goals, schedule, skill level, facility, and desired tone. Apex sets the final menu after confirming food restrictions and operational requirements.
Pricing + booking
Custom quote. Inquire at least four to six weeks ahead; additional planning time is recommended for larger groups, retreat weekends, holidays, and off-site equipment needs.
