Engaging Your Group in Leisure Time

Many of the most memorable, productive meeting moments are spent outside of the conference room—and we truly mean outside! Here at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, we pride ourselves on offering a wide range of immersive leisure time activities featuring our breathtaking natural setting. Ready to encourage group engagement? Share these Kiawah Island Golf Resort experiences:

• Yoga on the Beach | Previous yoga experience is not required for this group activity, which pairs moderate-pace vinyasa and restorative poses with sea breezes and ocean views.

• Team Paddle | While kayaking isn’t a team sport, it will definitely build your team as you explore the marshes and learn about nature. Our kayaking guides will assist your group, helping even first-time paddlers feel comfortable and confident on the water. For another type of paddling, try a group stand-up paddleboarding session. Your group will learn the fundamentals before exploring the Kiawah River in a unique way.

• Hands-On Events | Everyone—from the outgoing to the more reserved—enjoys participating in hands-on event preparation. Learn the tricks to successfully shucking oysters or create a themed cocktail with one of Kiawah Island Golf Resort’s mixologists.

• Private Group Golf Clinic | For some of your group members, a golf tournament can be intimidating. Why not go back to basics? Enjoy fresh air and the chance to learn something new or improve existing skills with a golf clinic that’s customized to your group’s level of play, from beginner to advanced.

• Paint with a Pro | Members of your group will reveal their artistic sides as they create their own canvas masterpieces in a group painting class led by a local Charleston artist.

• Sip & Savor Wine Tasting Dinner | Learning about wines is a natural conversation starter—and it’s even more special when set in the elegant, private Ocean Room. Enjoy flavors from the vine perfectly matched with an unparalleled dining experience.

• Birding with a Naturalist | Did you know that birding is one of the fastest growing hobbies? It’s a perfect activity to encourage your group members to pause, watch and listen. In fact, the skills inherent in birding (attention to detail and being attuned to your environment) can be just as key in a corporate office habitat.

• Trendy, Team-Building Game | New experiences and challenges are virtually guaranteed to engage your group. Get everyone involved in the fast-paced game of Archery Tag. Aim, accuracy, teamwork and strategy all come into play in this fun activity.

• Bonfires at Mingo Point or Night Heron Park | Share stories and laughter as your group gathers around a bonfire, the perfect ending for a beautiful day at Kiawah Island Golf Resort.
