There is an amazing transformation that takes place for our staff each year that we have engaged in activities at Eagle Crest Adventures... This in turn has truly complimented what we do each day to our serve students.
– Eric, Principal

Train.  Inspire.  Educate.

Eagle Crest Adventures offers groups more than just the experience of completing a challenge course.  The core of Eagle Crest Adventures is not in our unique team building facilities but in the quality of our programs.  All of our programs are adaptable to your students' needs and are set to Illinois State Learning Standards and SELS Goals.  In addition to our group initiatives courses we also offer programs for private & public schools with lesson plans that cover Outdoor Education & Character Development.  Our Character Development Courses are substantive, age appropriate, pre-designed programs that supplement classroom activities to meet Illinois State learning standards (ILS) and social emotional learning standards (SELS).
