successful production and an overall feeling of accomplishment,”she adds.
She also notes that attendees of inten- sive meetings and educational sessions will benefit from breaks set throughout the day to recharge and refresh their minds and bodies, adding that perhaps starting their day with an icebreaker activity to get the event started off right.
“Peppering in activities like scavenger hunts through the aquarium to get the group moving or interacting with live animals up close will help the group accomplish the goals set for the day,” she says.“Planners can arrange to have their attendees taken into the underwa- ter world throughout the day by arrang- ing a variety of activities.”

Batchelor explains. “Scavenger hunts, animal encounters, team building opportunities and inactive arts and crafts are options to add to the overall event experience. During evening events, guests in attendance receive exclusive access to the aquarium after hours, with the opportunity to experi- ence all the venue has to offer, includ- ing viewing 8,500 aquatic animals throughout twomillion gallons ofwater, while enjoying delicious food and cre- ative cocktails.”
For those interested in history as a means of immersion and escape, the Battleship New Jersey, also situated along the Camden Waterfront, offers another great group option.
Jack Willard, senior VP, marketing and sales for the Battleship New Jersey, notes that one of the biggest draws to an excursion aboard this vessel is that
“you are on a historic artifact, not just looking at one. The Battleship New Jersey is our nation’s most decorated and largest battleship.”
“She served inWorldWar II, the Korean War,theVietnamWar,the Lebanon Crisis and the Persian GulfWar,” he continues. “She was home for 45,000 sailors, including New Jersey native Admiral William‘Bull’ Halsey. President Ronald Reaganwas aboard the battleshipwhen she was re-commissioned in the 1980s. Today,meetings,events and group tours take place on the same decks that defended our nation.”
Willard notes that groups choosing the Battleship New Jersey can add options such as “guided tours,on board classes for school groups, scavenger hunts, even the opportunity for someone to pull the trigger and fire a five-inch gun (it shoots blanks,of course).”
