Experience a Hante Adventure!
Hante Adventures offer unique experiences rooted in the Eagle’s Nest mission. These three week expeditions invoke a deeper understanding of yourself, others, and the world around you by traveling within natural environments. Exposure to diverse perspectives, unique local histories, and differing technical abilities create these profound learning opportunities. Through challenge and commitment, you can expect to leave with greater confidence, compassion, leadership, and friendships that will last a lifetime.

“I just want to say ‘thank you’ for what you and Eagle’s Nest give to Evan. The letter we received from Evan was amazing. You simply can not imagine how great it feels to hear him tell me how he has grown emotionally and then list specific skills that have strengthened him physically. He said he feels so proud of himself and what he has accomplished. He described how he found each of his Hante instructors helpful to him in different ways. I wanted to say how grateful I am to the Eagle’s Nest staff for the gift you are to Evan.”
