Executive and Team Events
Focus on your Tradecraft with Secrets of the Catoctin Mountains!
Mountain Spies offers a distinctive alternative to conventional off-site meetings, strategy retreats, and QBR team meetings. Located in Adams and Frederick Counties, the South-Central region of Maryland and Pennsylvania provides a secure, discreet, and highly cost-effective setting for your event. It's within easy reach of Washington, Baltimore, and the broader Mid-Atlantic corridor, yet intentionally removed from the distractions, congestion, and expense of major metropolitan areas.
Programs may be structured as single-day or multi-day engagements, combining focused meeting time with curated experiences that reinforce leadership judgment, decision-making, and strategic thinking. Drawing on the region’s historic role in intelligence, secrecy, and continuity planning, Mountain Spies designs environments particularly well suited for executive discussions, board sessions, leadership development, and confidential team collaboration.
The Mountain Spies program frames WWII intelligence not as history, but as a case study in elite performance under uncertainty. The same principles that governed intelligence tradecraft—trust, preparation, patience, risk control, and human insight—remain the foundational framework for modern team leadership and executive decision-making. This is why the program resonates with leadership teams. It reinforces a hard truth: influence is not improvised. It is built deliberately, discreetly, and methodically—over time.
Mountain Spies can assist with:
- Lodging arrangements, from boutique inns to full-service hotels
- Corporate-grade meeting rooms and off-site venues selected for focus, discretion, and collaboration
- Catering, hosted dinners, and locally sourced dining options
- Optional facilitated programming, including the Secrets of the Mountain experience, connecting history, geography, timing, and strategic decision-making
Programs are coordinated by professionals with proven experience planning and leading executive meetings, strategy sessions, and focused team engagements such as Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs). We understand what makes these sessions succeed: the right setting, disciplined coordination, confidentiality, and a cost-effective alternative within easy reach of Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Mountain Spies manages the details so leaders and teams can remain fully focused on the work at hand.
Each program is customized to your objectives, group size, and schedule.
If you are planning an executive off-site, leadership session, or QBR, engage Mountain Spies early. Programs are designed deliberately, not at scale, and availability is limited. Contact us to discuss your requirements and determine the right structure for your next executive/team engagement.
