Group experiences that build trust and momentum
Most groups are looking for more than just a fun day away. From challenge course programs in Wenham to retreats and trips in the Adirondacks, La Vida helps groups build trust, deepen connection, and create the kind of shared experience people remember long after it ends.
Choose the right group experience
Whether you’re planning for a school, church, business, camp, or another kind of group, La Vida offers experiences designed to help people connect, grow, and come away stronger.
Challenge Course Experiences
Half-day and full-day group experiences in Wenham designed to build trust, communication, and connection through shared challenge. Take team-building to a new level on our low-ropes and high-ropes challenge courses.
Adirondack Retreats & Trips
Destination-based overnight experiences in the Adirondacks for groups seeking deeper connection, reflection, and growth. These can include Base Camp retreats, group trips, and custom experiences that help leaders step away from routine and focus on their people.
Custom Events
Welcoming experiences for celebrations, gatherings, and special occasions. Also a great fit for groups looking for something that doesn’t quite fit into our regular programs. Whether its on the challenge course, on the water, or climbing a rock face, we work with you to bring your event to life.

Group leaders are not just looking for something to fill the schedule. They are looking for an experience that helps people connect, trust each other, and come away stronger. La Vida is built to do that through meaningful challenge, thoughtful facilitation, and supportive leadership. Whether your group is spending a day in Wenham or heading to the Adirondacks for a retreat or trip, you are stepping into an experience designed to build community and lasting growth.
What group leaders are saying
Judith Claire
Professor at Boston College
“I have brought a group from my university to La Vida Adventure Pursuits for over 10 years. We do a full day of low ropes and high ropes. Each time we go, the event goes smoothly and my students learn a great deal about themselves and working together.”
Ashley
Teacher
"I planned a field trip with La Vida for a group of 30 alternative high school students in grades 9-12. We participated in a full day experience with low ropes team building activities in the morning and high ropes courses in the afternoon. The director was very helpful and made the planning of the field trip smooth and easy! The staff was extremely knowledgable, patient, and supportive with our students. For a lot of students this was a completely new experience and this trip was the highlight of their year. So many student's expressed how much fun they had and asking if we could return the next year!"
Adrianna
Corporate Team Leader
"We had a 3-hour team building event for our corporate team in late July at La Vida. Our group was very hesitant about an outdoor adventure event but the La Vida team really showed us a great time. It was a perfect day. I'd highly recommend planning an event with them!"
