Adventure Programs

Maneuver your group through the Spider's Web, negotiate the Blind Maze; zip through the trees; or climb the Alpine Tower. Set in a hardwood forest, and bordering a shrub swamp, Echo Hill's adventure course consists of over twenty individual and group initiatives that provide opportunities for personal and group development. Adventure programs can be day or residential; weekend programs are also offered.

Echo Hill's adventure programs allow students of all ages to explore individual challenges and group dynamics. Low level challenges focus on improving communication, establishing trust, exploring team roles, and creating self-awareness. High elements focus on personal responsibility, accountability, self-confidence, and team support. Each program is tailored to age-specific issues. Our adventure instructors are trained to ensure the emotional and physical safety of each participant. Adventure programs can be designed for young students to focus on cooperation and confidence. High school leaders or college athletic teams may focus on team building. Experienced adventure instructors can facilitate action plans for adult groups. To complement social development in the classroom, some groups participate in a curriculum progression of adventure classes over several consecutive years.

Adventure programs are available all seasons of the year for groups of up to 100 participants.
