Rec Lab Experiences

Most forums organize their own retreats at least once per year.  Virtual forums may also gather for a weekend or extended time together.  Just like forum itself, retreats are self-supporting and led by Forum members working alongside an Experience Facilitator.  Retreat planning and design uses collectively learned and recommended practices.

Love to Surf? Ski?  Mountain Bike?  Mixed Forum Experiences allow you to gather with forum members from around the world who share specific interests but are not in the same forum.  Fees are set to cover associated costs and everyone takes a part in leading the experience along with an Experience Facilitator.  Mixed Forum Experiences have been held at California beaches, mountains and deserts, the high country of Colorado, Belfast (Northern Ireland), Armenia, and more.  There are no boundaries!

Rec Lab promotes competency in small group leadership.  Moderators and Experience Facilitators come together to share, learn, and improve their practices. Peer leadership is integral to the Rec Lab Experience with learning opportunities provided for all affiliated forums and groups.
