ECC 2

The Eagle Challenge Course

The Eagle Challenge Course is located at the Buckingham Center roughly 18 miles north of main campus. Set amongst 10 acres of green fields and pockets of pine uplands and oak hammocks, the Eagle Challenge Course is the perfect outdoor experiential learning laboratory for you and your team!

With guidance from our trained staff in a safe and controlled environment, each course will be specifically designed to meet the needs of your group. Through the use of our low and high course, your teams will experience challenging teambuilding activities that:

Build Trust
Develop Effective Communication
Enhance Self Esteem
Build Leadership Skills
Promote Physical Fitness
Encourage Adventure and Risk Taking

The Low Teams Course
The Low teams course is a series of ground level challenging elements that serve as foundations for the teambuilding process. As of now, the ECC has 8 low elements with plans to expand.

The High Teams Course
The high course is a state of the art Odyssey III course designed and installed by Alpine Towers. This 450 foot course consists of 8 challenging high elements; 4 of which are set at 40 feet in the air, while the other 4 are set 25 feet.

Stand Alone Elements
As an additional component to the Eagle Challenge Course, we offer three stand alone high elements. The Giant Swing By Choice, The Leap of Faith, and the Flying Squirrel. Each of these events offers unique, challenging and fun experiences.
