Backcountry to Boardroom
sharing wisdom from the wilderness in the workplace
When Barry retired from skydiving in 2015 and Sydney left Corporate America in 2018, we began unraveling our career burnout - what was the root cause? Could it have been prevented? And what was the most effective way to unpack it? As we found the answers, we allowed our work to be inspired by the discoveries we were making, delivering more than 400 Wilderness Wellness events to people from all walks of life, all industries, all levels of business.
Backcountry to Boardroom emerged in response to the challenges our participants faced—unable to disconnect from their work or technology, not responding to other stress management techniques, and suffering mental, physical, and spiritual consequences.
Our programs provide comprehensive support to help your people bring their best selves to life, love and work.

Backcountry to Boardroom: Elevating Employee Wellness through Nature
In today’s fast-paced corporate environment, employee wellness has become more crucial than ever. Companies are increasingly recognizing the need for comprehensive wellness programs that address physical health and support mental and emotional well-being. Wellness in the Wilderness Consulting offers a unique approach to corporate wellness with our Backcountry to Boardroom programs, blending the healing power of nature with innovative strategies to boost creativity and productivity in the workplace.
The Power of Nature for Employee Wellness
Modern work environments often contribute to stress, burnout, and a decline in overall employee well-being. Traditional wellness programs offer a range of benefits, but they often fall short in addressing the deeper needs for mental clarity, stress reduction, and renewed creativity. This is where the wilderness comes in.
Healing in nature is not just a trend; it’s a proven approach to improving mental health. Research shows that spending time in natural settings can significantly reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and enhance mood. At Wellness in the Wilderness Consulting, we harness these benefits by taking your team out of the office and into the great outdoors, where the distractions of daily life fade, and true connection can take place.
Backcountry to Boardroom: A Unique Corporate Offering
Our Backcountry to Boardroom programs are designed to integrate the benefits of outdoor experiences with the goals of your corporate wellness strategy. These programs offer a combination of guided hikes, team-building exercises, and strategic workshops—all set in the stunning backdrop of nature.
Employee Mental Health and Wellness: By removing employees from the typical office setting and immersing them in nature, we create a space for mental rejuvenation. The fresh air, physical activity, and natural beauty provide a perfect environment for reducing stress and fostering a sense of well-being.
Boosting Creativity and Innovation: Nature has a unique ability to inspire. Our programs are designed to unlock creative potential by encouraging employees to think outside the box. The combination of physical activity and serene landscapes allows for a mental reset, leading to innovative ideas and solutions that can be brought back to the workplace.
Building Stronger Teams: The challenges and experiences encountered in a backcountry setting can strengthen bonds among team members. Our programs emphasize teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, all of which are essential for a productive and harmonious work environment.
