A great company picnic is an opportunity to strengthen relationships, recognize employees, and build a stronger team outside the workplace. Brush Mountain Sportsmen's Association provides businesses throughout Central Pennsylvania with a spacious outdoor venue where employees and their families can relax, have fun, and enjoy time together in a beautiful natural setting.
Located just off Exit 39 of I-99 near Altoona, Brush Mountain offers easy access for businesses throughout Blair County and the surrounding region. Employees can quickly reach the venue while enjoying a refreshing escape from the office, warehouse, or job site. The peaceful mountain setting immediately creates a more relaxed atmosphere, allowing coworkers to connect in ways that simply aren't possible during the normal workday.
Our property features two covered pavilions that can accommodate companies of many different sizes. The larger pavilion comfortably seats more than 360 guests, making it ideal for employee appreciation events, company-wide celebrations, holiday gatherings held during warmer months, and large family picnics. The smaller pavilion seats over 130 guests and provides an excellent option for departments, smaller businesses, or regional offices.
One of the biggest advantages of hosting your company picnic at Brush Mountain is the generous outdoor space surrounding the pavilions. The open grounds provide room for lawn games, team-building activities, employee competitions, children's entertainment, raffles, vendor displays, and family-friendly attractions. Whether your event includes volleyball, cornhole, inflatable games, live music, or simply relaxing outdoors, there's space to create a memorable experience for everyone attending.
Many employers choose to invite spouses, children, and extended family members to their annual company picnic. Brush Mountain's welcoming atmosphere makes this easy. While adults visit with coworkers, children have room to play and explore the grounds, creating a fun day for every member of the family. The natural setting encourages guests to spend more time together rather than feeling confined to a traditional indoor venue.
The scenic surroundings also contribute to the experience. Mature trees provide shade, while ponds, streams, and rustic bridges create a peaceful backdrop for casual conversations and group photographs. Employees often appreciate the opportunity to step away from the workplace and enjoy an environment that feels both relaxing and refreshing.
Our covered pavilions provide plenty of room for catered meals, barbecue buffets, food stations, desserts, and refreshments. Whether your business hires a professional caterer or organizes a casual cookout, the layout makes serving guests efficient while providing ample seating for everyone to enjoy their meal comfortably.
Brush Mountain is also an excellent venue for celebrating company milestones and recognizing employee achievements. Businesses frequently use company picnics to honor retirements, celebrate anniversaries, reward outstanding performance, welcome new employees, or thank staff members for their hard work throughout the year. The relaxed environment creates a positive atmosphere where recognition feels personal and meaningful.
Because our venue offers flexibility, each company can design an event that reflects its own culture. Some organizations prefer a simple afternoon picnic with games and conversation, while others plan elaborate employee appreciation events complete with entertainment, giveaways, and organized activities. Brush Mountain provides the space to make your vision a reality while allowing your employees to enjoy the natural beauty of Central Pennsylvania.
