Why Join an Eagle Expedition?
1. You love the great outdoors.
If spending several days, distraction free, in a beautiful setting while tackling legitimate challenges as a team fires you up, then you should join an Eagle Expedition.
2. You’re looking for an epic Big Fitness Goal (BFG).
Eagle Expeditions are held in bucket-list destinations and are truly Big Fitness Goal worthy. Plus, we give you a 6-week training plan to help you prepare for the challenges ahead.
3. You want to challenge yourself and grow.
An Eagle Expedition is tough. It’s not a nature walk or a leisurely 4 days outside. The grit, teamwork, and determination to accomplish the day's objective make an Expedition what it is. It will be tough but as a team you share that struggle, just as you share the view atop the mountain, just as you share that rewarding plunge in crystal clear waters, just as you share the bonds forged through these challenges.
