Event Planning

Let us create an extraordinary event for your group. Over the last thirty years we have provided astounding Everglades's adventures for corporations, schools, churches, and families. The focus may be on team building, relaxation, education, or just fun. Your group should expect the unexpected with us. Some examples over the years include:
  • Tetra Pak, a Swiss corporation, hired us to provide activities for seven hundred corporate clients over a three day period. We offered kayaking into a mangrove pond, hikes in the swamp, a historical bike ride of Everglades City, fishing charters, boat rides into Everglades National Park, entertainment, and meals.
  • A group of thirty-six Apple Computer executives of Belgium began their journey camping in the everglades, paddled, hiked into the swamp and had a candle lit dinner in a saw grass prairie. They then boarded a crab boat to eat stone crabs while watching a breath taking sunset and then spent their last night at the Ivey House Inn.
  • Approximately sixty-five ninth graders camp in the Everglades with us each year as part of their curriculum. Their focus is education and appreciation of the fragile Everglades which has been designated a World Heritage Site, International Biosphere Reserve, and Wetland of International Importance, significant to all people of the world.
  • For over ten years approximately thirty-five seventh graders out of Central Florida stay at the Ivey House for two nights. During their stay they paddle into the mangroves at dusk to watch the birds fly into their rookeries as the colors in the sky change many spectacular shades. The second day they paddle out to a mangrove island for a picnic lunch.
  • A rum company appointed us to provide an incentive activity as a prize where the winners stayed at the Ivey House and each day they continued on a scavenger hunt until they found a run cask.
Teacher groups, family reunions, bachelor parties, environmental groups, clubs, and many, many more have stayed and played with us over the last thirty years. Call us today to discuss an adventure of a lifetime!
