Pendleton.
Devil Dog — a half day inside Camp Pendleton
Half the day. Beach team building with a MARSOC instructor, the history of the base, and a sit-down lunch at La Casa Del Mar.
5 hoursUp to 100 guests
Why this one
The morning
that matters.
Who it suits
Teams of 40 to 100 with a conference or a second commitment either side of it, who still want the beach session and the history.
What it does
The work on the sand, then the history of the ground, then a proper sit-down lunch to let the conversations settle.
What it isn’t
Not the full day. No reception on the deck, no bagpiper, and the keynote is optional rather than included.
The day
Five hours,

What clients say
It was such an incredible retreat for the team and I had a long list of people that said this year has been the best yet. Everything was beyond expectations, from the location, to the history, to the team building, to the food.

Questions
Before you ask.
How many people can come?
Up to 100 at La Casa Del Mar. Pricing is based on 25 people; smaller groups are possible, though the per-person rate rises.
How much notice do you need?
Base access is submitted in advance and the installation sets the deadline. We confirm the current lead time on the call and build the schedule backwards from it.
Is the team building physically hard?
It scales to every fitness level, and non-physical roles are built into every exercise. The work is communication and decision-making under pressure, not physical punishment.
What does it cost?
We quote once we know the group size and the date. Pricing excludes a 25% operations fee, 10% gratuity and 7.75% sales tax. Base coordination is included.
