What is a team-building fishing trip for business like?

Fly-in fishing trips to Canada for your business corporate team
Now that spring is here, your team of employees in your company possibly feel overworked and need time away from their desks. 

Rather than have individual employees take time off for their own vacations, why not go together on a getaway business trip? 

If you've never heard of our fly-in fishing vacation package here at Oak Lake Lodge, you're in for the business trip discovery of your life.

We're an exclusive vacation spot located around upper northwestern Ontario, Canada that's also one of the most pristine places on earth. 

With our lodge located along Oak Lake, you can only reach us by plane, which creates a great escape away from industry and crowded tourist spots.

If you're a company that's grown tired of city bustle and pollution, visiting us as a communal business trip will make you think you've entered paradise. 

We've had many companies use our lodge for group business trips, and they've all cited their experience as the best time away they've ever had. 

Even those who've visited the greatest tourist locales in the world found the lack of crowds and industry here a wonder to behold.

When you choose to have a business trip with us, you'll have experiences you won't find in other remote locations. Because we only allow 32 people in our lodge at a time, your entire staff can enjoy everything exclusively.

What kind of fun will you have here together? If you're visiting to do some minimal work, the nature that surrounds you will make work a real pleasure.

Fishing Excursions for Easing Stress

The central focus here is fishing, at least this time of year. With our comfortable boats available to small groups at a time, your employees will have a tremendous way to relax. 

If you've all come here to brainstorm on business ideas, a fishing excursion out on Oak Lake is the perfect place to meditate and discuss future plans.

At the same time, you'll catch some amazing fish like walleye and small mouth bass from the most pristine waters in the world. 

Because Oak Lake is full of oxygen from no human tampering, the fish are the healthiest of any you've likely caught before in your life.

Archery Hunting in September

Along with the fishing, you can book some adventurous hunting excursions in September for black bear and moose. 

With beautiful wilderness around you, you'll again have a peaceful place where you can commune with your business employees. 

We're miles away from any industry, so you won't have distractions from itinerant tourists or corporate attractions.

Utilizing Groups in Our Cottages

Using our cottages as your living quarters, we group people together in each one so you have more chances to relax together. What makes our cottages so great are the luxury amenities we provide. 

You won't find this common in other remote vacation spots. We provide four-star services you'd only see in major hotels.

In addition, you have comfortable surroundings, including stunning views of the lake out your window. 

Along with a screened-in porch, you and your employees can huddle and discuss business issues in another peaceful place. 

Some of your employees may prefer hanging out there all day rather than going out on the lake in a boat.

Enough Food to Satisfy Every Appetite

You no doubt have worries about what kind of food your employees will have on your business trip. 

There isn't any worry when you stay with us, because our chefs are there to make you every type of meal you can imagine. This includes on-shore lunches with the fish you catch.

It's during these delicious meal times when you and your employees can further commune and talk seriously. When delicious and healthy food is at the helm, business discussions always go better.

As a business trip, you won't find another like it without wanting immediate vacation from the vacation.

Anyone who's enjoyed our Ontario fly-in fishing vacations here at Oak Lake Lodge knows we have a remarkable experience surrounded by the greatest nature in the world with superior accommodations. But we also know a perfect vacation is even better when you have those in control making continual improvements. It's the small things that matter in many vacations, and you don't usually get them in even the most luxurious getaways. We hear a lot of stories from others who've gone to amazing destinations around the world, only to end up having more trouble than they wanted. This is only because those in charge of the trip didn't think about doing little things to make the customer worry less. Yes, the old notion that you need a vacation from the vacation doesn't apply here. We have many people who attest to this who've experienced our beautiful cottages, a wondrous fishing excursion, plus hunting in invigorating nature not spoiled by industry. Within the last year (and over the last decade), we've taken the time to improve all the numerous details you'll find on your trip. We studied what people wanted, and with our recent improvements, your booked trip with us this spring will give you an even better experience than those who stayed here years ago had.

Sometimes, you just feel like getting away from it all. The intruding headlights beaming in through your window common of suburban life make you want to get as far away from the noise and commotion as possible. You want to relax and fish all day while your food and accommodation needs are met. This is where our Oak Lake fly-in fishing vacations can help. At Oak Lake, our guests must be flown in from the mainland as there is no driving or boating access to the area. Guests may also enter via private planes. They will be treated to excellent accommodations, delicious meals, and exclusive fishing rights in the area. Additionally, guests in September will have exclusive rights to bow-hunt for local black bear and moose.

Any fly-in fishing trip that's worth anything is the result of numerous people working hard to make sure things go right. You can equate it to an Oscar-caliber movie that wouldn't have prestige without contributions from everyone to the director to the caterers and grips. This comparison extends to vacation spots like us here at Oak Lake Lodge where our central goal is making sure you have the greatest vacation you've ever had. Fortunately, having pristine natural surroundings around us makes our job a little easier. But that doesn't mean vacations in nature aren't sometimes fraught with issues if you don't plan things well. You've likely had one too many vacations in your lifetime where things went far from what you expected. We have to admit that most vacations in top tourist destinations don't always go as planned. This is only due to lack of preparation and staff at local inns or lodges not taking extra steps to make your experience memorable. Here at Oak Lake Lodge, we guarantee your experience with us is first-rate from your first day to the last. Much of this gets accomplished through our own superior staff that we want you to meet when you arrive. Every person is there to add a separate layer to your vacation experience so you have true peace and meaning to your stay.

When you vacation, finding access to food is always an issue, especially when you're traveling with a big family. Having many people along on your trip also means dealing with some picky eaters. When you ultimately can't find the food you want while traveling, it only makes your vacation more of a frustration than a relaxing experience. This is all the more reason why you should try our fly-in fishing vacation package here at Oak Lake Lodge. Meals are never a problem at our lodge because we prepare in advance to make your experience the best it can possibly be. You'll also appreciate our attention to something other vacation spots don't always do: Making sure you never go hungry while still making the food healthy. If the word "healthy" sounds like it shouldn't go on vacation, having a hearty meal already means eating well. You have to keep your energy level up to fully enjoy the pristine nature around you here at Oak Lake Lodge. While providing relaxation for you is our goal, you'll have the privacy of Oak Lake where all-day fishing excursions are available at your leisure. The same goes for archery hunting out in the wilderness that's untouched by excessive amounts of tourists or industries. Despite you vacationing in one of the most undisturbed natural locations on earth, being out in the great outdoors always works up an appetite. It's why we place special emphasis on creating meals we know you're going to love. This includes some of the amazing and large fish you'll catch in Oak Lake that you can enjoy as part of a shore lunch. Take a look at what kind of meals you'll experience for every meal of the day, including the ability to snack when you want to.

When you hear the term "fly-in fishing", no doubt you immediately picture thoughts of a hideaway vacation. While accurate, you've perhaps created a new definition of what a hideaway vacation is. You've possibly become overly cynical about the term because so many hideaway vacations your family visited in the past didn't live up to expectations. This was even more disappointing considering you paid a significant amount to commune with pristine nature and a promise of few tourists. In reality, there aren't any truly pristine tourist areas left in the world other than deserted islands and uninhabited jungles. Only a few places still exist on earth where you'll get some exceptions. We're fortunate to tell you that we provide exceptions here at Oak Lake Lodge thanks to long-standing stringent plans on limiting tourists. Here in Ontario, Canada, we still have some pristine natural environments left not invaded by excess tourism or industry. The land around our lodge received government approval to stay as pristine as you can get while still allowing limited visitors at a time. We only allow 32 people in every few weeks, so you're never experiencing excess tourists. You'll also find many other differences compared to other so-called hideaway vacations. Maybe you know about other secret locations where you can essentially get lost, at least in the off-season. Even if you can sometimes successfully escape crowds in those places, they don't offer the amenities we do. Let's take a look at some of those differences and why we frequently get singled out as one of the best vacation spots within Canada and the United States. We'll help you redefine what a hideaway vacation really is.

There isn't any question that food is a top concern when traveling on vacation. You've probably had more headaches over what to eat than anything else when visiting hideaway resorts, hotels, or even bed & breakfasts. What makes this all the more problematic is the kind of food you'll find in the places where you stay. If you're staying overseas, it sometimes means consuming exotic items you've never had before, which only brings elements of risk. While the above is exciting for some people, it can bring some dangers to your health. The last thing you want is food that could potentially make you sick in a foreign location where medical facilities aren't the greatest. Here at Oak Lake Lodge, we decided that food needed a strong focus on our vacation packages. We knew that when people travel to a vacation destination, they wanted food that's substantive, yet also not overly offbeat to a point where it could cause illness. Also, based on the response of our customers, we understood that most people enjoy having traditional food. Yes, traditional food gives you a sense of home, despite being served here in a remote location where pristine nature surrounds you. Let us show you the kind of traditional food you'll find for your fly-in fishing vacation. We'll show you why it's safer and even healthier than many other foods found in other tourist destinations.

When you decide to experience our fly-in fishing vacation package here at Oak Lake Lodge, you'll immediately notice the sense of peace and quiet you'll have in comparison to other vacations. We'll remind you that when you arrive here, you're a long way from any industry. This means miles and miles of natural surroundings and not the loud bustle of traffic. With our limitations of 32 people per visit, you also eliminate concern about excessive tourists. You won't find many vacation spots on earth that don't have an excess of tourists clogging streets, or even on lakes. This sense of peace might sound like we're too far away from providing outstanding amenities. Keep in mind we fly in and provide more amenities and supplies than most lodges do that exist away from civilization.

Experiencing autumn during your fly in fishing vacation here at Oak Lake Lodge is like no other nature experience available in the civilized world. Even if you already live near natural areas and love doing activities in the outdoors during the fall or winter, you probably have to experience an excessive amount of people in those places. Plus if it's a vacation spot, you probably work up a considerable appetite after excessive physical exercise. The problem with the two situations above is that being in nature with too many people already ruins any claims of the surroundings being unspoiled. At a vacation resort, it also means crowded restaurants, leaving you having to wait for food when you want food immediately. You won't find either of the above unfortunate scenarios here at Oak Lake Lodge. The nature here is truly pristine because there isn't any industry around for miles. We also have limitations on how many people we let in at a time, so getting food when you want it isn't a problem. Moreover, you'll have more food here than you can probably digest. Our meals are extremely hearty and generous in their servings. The question is how much of an appetite can you generate while visiting us? When you have cooler weather, invigorating fishing, and hunting all together, you can probably get as hungry as the black bears and moose are when they forage for food this fall.

You've probably heard of that term "vacation from the vacation" more than once and maybe only thought of it as facetious.
