events. If you can dream it, we will do everything in our power to make it hap- pen for you,” says Alfes.
Harbourtowne even offers the flexibility to host outdoor functions by the water, providing the ultimate utopia for meeting attendees, topping it off with complimen- tary WiFi available on its waterfront decks. “Our staff will move whatever is needed so your group can meet outside, including your continuous beverage service,” says Alfes. “Making sure that guests are able to enjoy all of our waterfront property is important to us.
It’s what sets us apart from other conference centers.”
At Skytop Lodge’s Skyview Spa, inspiration is always in season, says Robert Baldassari,
ing for the resort.
“From the moment you enter our spa and behold the magnificent views of the lush bowling green, the exquisite flower gar- dens, and the majestic Delaware Water Gap, you know you’re in for an extraordi- nary experience,”
says Baldassari.
“Sensational treatments include Swedish, deep tissue, reflexology and sports mas- sages, along with European facials, wraps, manicures and pedicures. In addition, our Quiet Room offers resplendent mountain views.”
Other recreational opportunities at the 5,500-acre Skytop estate include award winning golf, a private trout stream, skeet and sporting clay shooting, hiking on over 30 miles of trails, plus biking, boating, canoeing, kayaking on the lake, tennis, lawn bowling, rock climbing, paintball, geo-caching, a mountain bike challenge course, a wilderness skills class, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a beach, as well as downhill and cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, and ice skating in winter.
Skytop Lodge provides everything need- ed for a successful event, including first- rate meeting space and devoted service. “Our award winning facility boasts 17 meeting rooms. The Executive Conference Center at Skytop features an additional 10,000 square feet of meeting space, high- speed wireless Internet, the latest in audio-visual equipment, and countless other amenities. Our team of meeting

managers work closely with our clients to ensure that every detail of a meeting is just as the client envisioned,” notes Baldassari.
He goes on to explain how the resort’s spa and other activities are a perfect fit when incorporated into group meetings and events, especially for incentive groups. “Spa services and recreational activities act as a diversion for attendees and pro- vide them with some down time to relax and unwind. It is true that lately compa- nies are meeting longer, working harder and staying for shorter periods, but they are still finding time to allow their atten- dees some downtime.”
“The great thing about Skytop’s recreation amenities,” he adds, “is that most of them, if not all, can be used for team building events.
For example, The Adventure
Center at Skytop provides rock climbing, paintball, mountain bike
challenge
course, geo-caching and wilderness sur- vival classes. Planners have used all of these activities in the past for team build- ing among their attendees. Our staff can provide all of the needed supervision for ensuring a quality and productive team building experience.”
With so many options available to plan- ners throughout the region, attendees of meetings and events at these resort and spa facilities will find that, by incorporat- ing opportunities for relaxation, rejuvena- tion and revival into their itineraries, they will build strong group bonds and ulti- mately increase productivity.
