ropes challenge course
Eagle’s Nest Ropes Challenge Course – At the core of the activities offered at Deer Run is “Eagle’s Nest”, a therapeutic, adventure-based ropes challenge course program. This program is based on highly successful, nationally acclaimed techniques that have been proven to build self-esteem, leadership, and trust and to teach teamwork, communications, relationship-building and problem-solving – in a recreational format of fun, challenge and exercise.
Eagle’s Nest offers a unique design, consisting of fifteen high ropes initiatives and fifteen low ropes elements, in addition to a variety of ground-level cooperative games and problem-solving initiatives. This facility is one of the largest of its kind in the northeastern U.S. The ropes course is more than a single activity, offering a variety of programming options which can accommodate several groups at a time and provide an interesting choice of activities over a period of many days.
