The package is available to groups of 10 or more rooms a night, new programs only and additional restrictions may apply. Rates start at $155 per night.

The resort's adaptable options enable meeting planners to expand their company culture through sole use of designated wings of the resort, specified onsite restaurants, bars, and other public areas, or simply by booking the property as a whole. The benefit to organizations is enjoying singular attention, customized programs and unique branding opportunities that are rarely obtainable at large scale resorts.

Groups can also engage in custom team building activities with unique programs such as Sail Boat Racing through the resort's Premier Sailing School, Culinary Create-A-Meal, Build-A-Boat, Glow in the Dark Golf; Survivor and Locker Key Match, with attendees searching through the Chesapeake Club restaurant's 100 antique liquor lockers for hidden keys.

In the heart of the mid-Atlantic with easy accessibility to major metropolitan areas, the Tides Inn is located within 60 miles of three major airports and an easy drive from Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. Overlooking Carter's Creek, the property's meeting facilities include 13 indoor banquet rooms, including the recently renovated Cove Room and four outdoor reception areas capable of catering groups up to 200 people and featuring expansive views of the water, the marina and resort's lush grounds. There are a variety of outdoor venues for the taking, including a waterside pool and sandy beach for clambakes and cocktail receptions, a new 24-slip marina, as well as the challenging 18-hole Golden Eagle golf course and Croquet Lawn for tournaments and tented events.

The package will run through the course of 2012, based on availability. For more information or to reserve a Tides Inn Waterside Retreat, please visit www.tidesinn.com.
