Corporate Experiences & Retreats

Business at Its Best is a Daring Adventure

Adventurous, performance-oriented professionals thrive here. At NOC, we spend our work lives creating unforgettable guest experiences, and our personal time training on the rivers and trails we love. Becoming better is our lifestyle. NOC's range of outdoor activities, veteran guide staff and our inimitable setting create joy, accomplishment, fascination, and focus.

While visiting our headquarters in the 530,000-acre Nantahala National Forest, retreat guests enjoy a range of unforgettable experiences. We design these experiences to provide just-right challenges--challenges that demand commitment, but that produce peak performance and heightened awareness. Creating these "flow experiences" for guests is our primary goal.
