Nothing brings a group together like the great outdoors, and El Capitan Canyon, outside of Santa Barbara, Calif., offers a full slate of team-building activities, including ropes courses, horseback riding and rock climbing, that will let groups test their limits. Welcoming executive retreats and mid-sized meetings, accommodations at the year-round luxury camping destination range from yurts to furnished cabins and canvas tents. Expanded from a traditional campground and reopened in 2002, the low-impact venue can now accommodate groups of up to 1,500.
El Capitan Canyon is a two-hour drive from Los Angeles and a five-minute walk from the beach.
