MANCHESTER, NH – Four years after Thrive Outdoor’s original grand opening (in January of 2020), and after the world shut down, the local company is reborn and under the wing of East Coast Evolution Leadership.

East Coast Evolution Leadership specializes in operations management, leadership development, retreats, and team building. Notably, E.C.E.L. has been managing the staff for the 39 Beech Street Engagement Center, but the core of their mission can be found at 190 Elm St, where they have been tirelessly preparing to re-open as Southern New Hampshire’s most unique place to be.

The Community Leadership Center now spans 6,000 square feet and offers Nerf Leagues, Smash Rooms, Scavenger Hunts, Escape Rooms, and more. The CLC is available to host events, ranging from birthday parties to corporate presentations, to music nights with DJs and bands. The space is both educational, with libraries of wilderness materials, and also functional for interesting activities, such as Nerf Chaos Wars, the Floor is Lava competitions, and a variety of challenge courses, including ropes and a boulder wall.

Crystal Dionne brings more than 25 years of financial expertise, including eight years as a member of the management team at Primary Bank, where she has served as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
