Programming Options

We are excited to work with each individual group to develop the programming schedule that is right for you. Each group that comes to Brigadoon is unique and we want our programming to reflect the needs of your group. When you book with Brigadoon, you will work with their programming team who can provide as much or as little programming options as you request.  The options listed below are an indication of what we can offer at Brigadoon but our program offerings will be continually changing and expanding as we hire new staff and grow over the years.

Environment

To maintain the natural environment at Brigadoon, we must minimize our operational impact.  Implementing a governing environmental policy statement will show our commitment.  This policy will explain our environmental objectives, incorporating the existing goals of Brigadoon, and creating a connection between environmental and human health. Brigadoon will also consult the best-practice recommendations in our own Sustainability and Stewardship Manual.  The concepts in this handbook will ensure that the environment is considered part of the overall decision-making process. By considering the physical environment, and adapting policies that make sustainability a top priority, this facilitates the best setting for the diverse groups of people who will enjoy Brigadoon.
