The American River
11 miles of rapids and relaxing.
For our summer retreat we decided to take on the white water rapids of the American River together. Not only did we live to tell the tale, we made some great memories along the way.
While we aren’t big on buzzwords like “teambuilding” and “funtivities,” we are fans of just coming together to have a good time. Twice a year we take the whole gang on an adventure and in the hot Sacramento summer, that often calls for time on the water.

We got to relax and unwind for the day together. Since we work in front of screens on a daily basis, it was nice to feel the sun and take in the breathtaking scenery around us. Activities like this allow us to connect on a deeper level as friends and coworkers.
At the risk of turning everything into a metaphor, we’d be remiss not to say being on the raft reminded us that we’re all in the same boat together. When we hit the rapids, we worked with each other to communicate effectively and get to our next destination safely as one cohesive unit.
Goodness is a design and technology studio whose people show up every day with equal doses of humility and skill. Our high expectations for the work we produce matches our deep understanding that work is only one part of our peoples’ lives. We’re proud of that rhythm.
