Hart's Woods Challenge Course is the ideal group outing for schools, scouts, clubs, sports teams, staff training and development for large and small businesses. Nestled among the trees, Hart's Woods is located in between Chicago, Illinois and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Activities involve mental and physical challenges that can only be resolved through teamwork and cooperation. With each activity, team members gain insight and experience to tackle the next task and how to utilize these experiences in their everyday lives. Challenge Course programs are professionally designed to help each group reach specific goals and objectives. Trained facilitators work with your group throughout the day helping them progress further and further in a challenging environment.
Hart's Woods Challenge Course has three programs geared towards different age groups and populations that can be customized to fit your specific needs or group's abilities. In addition to our permanent challenge course, we have a portable version that enables us to offer programs at other locations while still providing the same benefits and opportunities for growth.
