The greater Fayetteville area regularly plays host to companies and groups from around the U.S. for conventions, reunions and meetings. More and more, they're seeking out unconventional destinations and out-of-the-box experiences. Many of Cumberland County’s recreation gems are ideal for team-building and corporate outings. A few key sites are highlighted in this blog.
Paraclete XP Indoor Skydiving
Overview: This attraction can boast that its Paraclete XP Skyventure is “the largest vertical wind tunnel in the United States in terms of power and size.” It draws professional skydiving teams from around the world and, of course, from Fort Bragg, but it’s also for your average joe with no skydiving experience. You simply lean into the door of the tunnel and let the air (and your guide) take you up.
Group Info: Paraclete’s Party Packages are designed with groups in mind, offering three levels of packages for 6 to 24 people. Groups opting for the Corporate Outing Package (6 to 12 people) have the additional option of a conference room, where a self-catered lunch is permissible. As Paraclete says, “Trade in your business suits for jumpsuits and prepare to take flight!”
Sky Zone Trampoline Park
Overview: Much more than just a trampoline park, this destination offers what they call “extreme air sports” in the biggest indoor recreation facility in Cumberland County. Visitors can battle each other on beams over foam pits, zip-line their way across the room, play extreme dodge-ball, test their skills on the Ninja Obstacle Course, climb a rock wall and jump all over the 35+ trampolines here. And that’s just a sample of all the attractions at this 40,000-square-foot facility, located in the Westwood Shopping Center.
Group Info: Big groups mean big smiles and big discounts at Sky Zone. Throw an event for your coworkers, campers, classroom, team, or any other large party. Learn More. Additionally, three birthday party packages off a range of options to celebrate someone's special day.
Triangle Rock Club - Fayetteville
Overview: This state-of-the-art facility features an expansive bouldering terrain and both lead and top-rope climbing, as well as fitness areas. TRC can now boast a total of four locations in North Carolina and Virginia. No membership is required to this “club,” though, to take advantage of their amenities and almost all events. T
Group Info: For groups of six or more people, TRC truly is one of the most reasonably priced recreation attractions in Fayetteville. Because of this, it's a popular site for military physical training (PT), team-building activities and more. If you ask the staff, they’ll tell you how much they enjoy tailoring these experiences to the group’s unique needs—for example, working on improving employee intercommunication skills. Learn More.

ZipQuest Waterfall & Treetop Adventure
Overview:The land ZipQuest sits on can be traced back to a gift from King George II. Not only can you expect an adrenaline-rush type of adventure on eight zips and two hanging bridges, but you’ll also be educated by the guides on the biodiversity of this land. The family who owns these 55 acres of virtually untouched forest wanted to see the public enjoying it but also wanted to protect it from the land abuse that can occur at public parks. Thus, their dream for ZipQuest was born. Today people travel from all over to experience the multi-zipline course on either a Zipline Adventure or a NightQuest.
Group Info: ZipQuest offers several Group Adventures to choose from. Several options with dedicated time to team building and zipping time are available. Additionally, meeting space for up to 40 people is available in the onsite historic Mill House, which was built in the early 1900’s.
Bragg Clay Target Center
Overview: We’ve talked about adventures in the air and on water. Perhaps your group prefers to keep their feet on the ground. Fort Bragg Clay Target Center is a great option for non-risk-takers who might enjoy a little friendly competition. This is one of the largest shotgun shooting facilities in North Carolina. Even though it’s affiliated with Fort Bragg, it’s located in the Town of Spring Lake and is open to the public. Visitors may rent or bring their own shotgun for skeet and trap shooting on one of their 12 competition-level skeet fields (six of which are overlaid with trap fields).
Group Info: This attraction is quite accustomed to hosting large groups for everything from public competitions to private events. The onsite amenities make for an even better experience. From their covered pavilion with sound system to the four gazebos with grills, you have options here. Team members are available for instruction, as needed for newbies to this sport. The group rates start at just a minimum of 11 people, making this a reasonable option for even small groups.
