Team Training and Leadership Development at the Brook Lodge - Augusta, Michigan

The home site for our experiential training facility is Brook Lodge in Augusta, Michigan where we are able to offer what is arguably the best experiential adventure training process and the finest executive retreat facility combination in the Midwest.

Brook Lodge, owned by Michigan State University, has a 40 acre campus situated among 637 acres of woodland. Formerly the summer home of Dr. W.E. Upjohn, it is now a full-service conference center with the flexibility to serve groups from 10 to 200.

Charming cottages offer comfortable sleeping arrangements and amenities such as bedrooms with wireless internet access, and living rooms with cable TV. Exceptional food and service are available in a variety of locations. The campus also includes a driving range and putting green, walking paths, and a Japanese garden. Our experiential activities at Brook Lodge include a secluded ropes course and multiple initiative sites.

For more information, please visit the Brook Lodge website.

Team Training and Leadership Development at the Chauncey Conference Center - Princeton, New Jersey

Crux Move also maintains an experiential training site at Chauncey Conference Center just minutes from historic Princeton, New Jersey and reasonable driving distance from Philadelphia and Newark airports. Surrounded by 370 acres of peaceful woodlands, this is a gracious location for corporate trainings and meetings, weddings, special events and leisure getaways.

In a serene lakeside setting, Chauncey features luxurious guest rooms, a conference center, event space and an award-winning restaurant. Tucked away close by is historic Laurie House, a former hunt club that welcomes guests to enjoy the intimate atmosphere of a small inn. Laurie House has inviting rooms for special occasions and seven elegant bed and breakfast-style accommodations.
