My work let me bring family on our retreat several years ago. It was a lot of fun.

Did they pay for that, or was that expense on you?

That depends on the company. Some do, most dont. But they will not really give you much grief over it. I know several people who did it. Usually after 2nd or 3rd time they would not do it. Because the spouse usually figured out pretty quick 'oh I am sitting here by myself when I could be at home doing the same thing...'

Yup that’s the play here, or just make it optional

If 90% of the team attends and significant work is done at the retreat (and that work excludes the person who couldn't come), it's "optional" not optional.
