Legacy Learning Boone River Valley

Contact us about custom group workshops: Team Building, Class/ Family Reunions, Business/Leadership Retreats. We are happy to design workshops specifically for your group, whatever the occasion or interest! Team building and stress reduction in nature with an artistic slant for businesses with woodland yoga, wildflower walk, or a cooking class. Family and friends bonding with shared creative learning experiences in a cozy cabin atmosphere, around a welding torch, canvas, or maybe a potter’s wheel. Make that reunion, convention, retreat, or any day more effective, fun, and memorable – without all the hassle.

We love the Boone River Valley, where the prairie meets the forest - an idyllic location easily reached by well-traveled major thoroughfares, Interstate 35 and Hwy 20. This area is rich in history, natural resources, diverse local business and active, engaged residents which makes for a bounty of natural learning spaces and a variety of local artists/ artisans. We bring these things together to create fun, intimate workshops for all ages that you can’t find anywhere but here. We work with local businesses, artists, artisans, experts, and residents to entertain and educate while bringing economic development to the region and new people to this welcoming rural community. Nearby is new Briggs Woods Conference Center, and it can by the desirable venue for upcoming weddings or corporate retreats. Legacy Learning BRV is happy to partner with them to offer a menu of add-on services combining nature and creativity in workshops designed to enhance the event and help you to develop successful, happy employees and families! We also work with the Rock River Retreat Center to provide custom workshops for special events, or to provide creative learning opportunities.

Legacy Learning Boone River Valley (LLBRV) is a non-profit (501C3).

We are here to serve you, all ages and interests, please contact us if there is a workshop you would like to teach or take!
