Rockton Retreat Recap: Niagara Falls

Alina Filipczak, Marketing Manager
The last five days have been filled with excitement for all Rockton Software Employees. We had our retreat to Niagara Falls, Ontario. On Thursday, we spent all day exploring the beauties of the Falls. This was my first time meeting the whole crew since I was hired in April. My highlight was the Maid of the Mist Boat Tour; thank goodness, we were given ponchos.  I kept wondering: “How many ponchos do they go through a day?” I think we were given ponchos three different times that day.

 On Friday, we had our first meeting of the retreat; this is where we were able to discuss the many successes of Rockton over the past six months. As the Social Media Coordinator, the largest success that I was involved in was GP Optimizer. GP Optimizer: a collection of tips and tricks to help optimize your experience in Microsoft Dynamics GP. It was amazing to hear the successes of Rockton, especially since sometimes we get caught up and do not realize the triumphs.
Oh Canada, Eh? Dinner Theater


On Saturday night, we were able to enjoy the performance and dinner at an amazing dinner theater, Oh Canada, Eh? We devoured a family-style Canadian meal.


Peninsula Ridge Estates Winery



Sunday morning, we headed out to a magnificent winery, Peninsula Ridge Estates Winery, where we were given a tour and wine tasting.



The retreat gave us, here at Rockton, a time to rejuvenate, as well as allowing the new employees of Rockton (including me) to meet each other. Rockton is a team, and it is such a joy to be involved with this company.
