Go for a Hike!
Northwest Arkansas is home to some of the most breathtaking and exhilarating natural scenery and outdoor experiences in the country. Visit Devil’s Den State Park for hiking, backpacking, horseback riding and camping in the Ozark National Forest. Join the locals biking the Razorback Greenway for spectacular views of the Ozark Mountains, or hike the Ozark Highlands Trail from Lake Fort Smith State Park to the Buffalo National River. Take a guided bike tour with Ozark Cycling Adventures or a longer outdoor adventure with 37 North.
Canvas for Collaboration
Hidden in the hills of Northwest Arkansas is one of the most impressive collections of American art in the South. Crystal Bridges’ permanent collection includes works by the likes of Georgia O’Keeffe, John James Audubon, Jean-Michel Basquiat, John Singer Sargent and Andrew Wyeth, among others. The Momentary, an extension of Crystal Bridges, offers outdoor art installations for visitors to peruse. Get inspired with your team at these art attractions.
Secret Ingredient: Teamwork
Bring the team together at the dinner table after a hands-on cooking class in Northwest Arkansas. Book a private lesson at Rogers’ Honeycomb Kitchen Shop, where local chefs from around NWA offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free classes alongside classes for those with more traditional diets. Or visit the Brightwater culinary school for one of its community classes, where participants can learn to make gourmet treats like crêpes or baklava.
