The Estate
Designed for Moments That Matter
Back Acres Lodge exists to support meaningful connection and focused outcomes.
Set on acres of rolling countryside, the estate was intentionally designed for private, high-level gatherings—where leadership teams align, organizations celebrate milestones, and conversations unfold without interruption. There are no shared spaces, outside guests, or competing agendas. The environment is fully dedicated to your group, allowing time to feel structured yet unhurried.
Every stay is exclusive. Every experience is purposefully designed to support clarity, collaboration, and impact.

The Leadership Retreat Agenda That Inspired Back Acres
Back Acres was born from a simple belief: leaders need dedicated time away from daily operations to think strategically, strengthen relationships, and plan for the future.
For years, founder Jim Sapp has led annual leadership retreats designed to create alignment, accountability, and meaningful business growth. Along the way, he developed a practical retreat agenda framework that helps leadership teams focus on the conversations that matter most.
Today, we’re sharing that agenda with you.
The ROI of Stepping Away
Executives are under constant pressure to deliver, but breakthrough thinking doesn’t happen in back-to-back Zoom meetings. It happens when leaders have space to reflect, discuss, and ideate without interruption. At Back Acres Lodge, your team gains that space—resulting in clearer plans, faster execution, and long-term gains that far outweigh the time away.
