Art Retreats

I have hosted a yoga retreat at The Crossing for the last two years, and I can't say enough good things about this venue. The scenery, the comfortable accommodations, THE FOOD! Not to mention the beautiful venue and the customer service. I highly recommend The Crossing.

On behalf of the Veterans Transition Network, I would like to highlight the amenity and adaptability of the Crossing at Ghost River. As a baseline, this centre already provides superb food, atmosphere and activities. What impressed us, however, is that without question they provided ongoing modifications to their setup to accommodate the often challenging nature of treating trauma in military veterans. Having personally visited here, this is among my favourite retreat centres across Canada.

We have been hosting our training retreat weekends here at Crossing for almost 2 years now. Our participants that are involved on these weekends come away appreciating the environment, the atmosphere around them, and the food is amazing. The staff at Crossing makes us feel at home when we arrive and are very diligent in taking care of any needs we may have during the weekend. We appreciate them providing all our audio visual needs so we don’t have bring equipment. We would recommend Crossing to any group wanting top notch service and a retreat centre for your group.

This was the second time we decided to hold our Western Retreat at The Crossing as we had a spectacular visit the first time. The meeting rooms were spacious, fully equipped and allowed for an opportunity to stretch the legs and enjoy a short nature walk between the dining experience and the meetings. The grounds are stunning and offer many different options for team building activities (we did fly fishing and nature yoga). The Inn is only a short drive to and from the Calgary airport, so is very convenient for out of city travellers. The food is amazing and Carol and her team went out of their way to accommodate our group’s every need. Overall a special place to host a ‘real Albertan’ experience.

There is so much that can be said about The Crossing it’s hard to know where to start. Our company has held our strategic planning meeting there for the past 2 years. The breathtaking scenery to the cozy relaxing rooms and let’s not forget about the food. The Chef prepared some of the most spectacular palette and visual satisfying meals for our team; it’s all anyone talks about for weeks after. Being in an environment with the sounds of the river off in the distance, beautiful wild life right in the front yard and fresh air really allows for a stress free no interruption approach for the work that our teams is required to complete during our retreat.

As a location for an educational or business retreat, away from the distractions and interruptions of a normal workday, we found The Crossing at Ghost River to be an excellent choice. Not only were the meeting rooms well appointed, all of our technology needs were met. While the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing, the venue is organized with multiple meeting areas and evening activities, providing ample space for work as well as recreation. The accommodations are comfortable and decorated to feel ‘homey’ and the food is outstanding, offering a variety of menu options. What makes The Crossing at Ghost River truly unique, however, is the setting: it is beautifully scenic, nestled in the foothills, and beside the picturesque Ghost River.

I was planning an offsite event for the Hyatt Regency Calgary Leadership team, and was looking for a venue to do a unique team building event focused on networking and connection. The Crossing turned out to be the perfect venue for our February team building. The meeting space worked very well for our needs as it has flexibility to be meeting space or casual living room style for better networking. Outdoor winter activities included a scavenger hunt, snowshoeing and even making s’mores on the huge open fire pit was a hit! Guest rooms were quiet and well appointed. All of our meals were absolutely outstanding and the team accommodated our special dietary requests with ease. Without a doubt I will be working again soon with the amazing team at The Crossing.
