110 acres of forest, trails, a lake, and high ropes — managed by Indiana University and grounded in a Challenge by Choice philosophy that aligns with everything we believe about leadership.
For 65 years, Bradford Woods has grounded its Adventure Leadership program in a "Challenge by Choice" philosophy — the belief that growth comes from progressive challenge, not pressure. That alignment with how we think about leadership is why we chose it.
The property is a beautifully maintained 2,500-acre campus that includes a lake, extensive hiking trails, a dining hall, and climate-controlled cabins. Every element of the MPLR weekend — from Japji Sahib hikes at dawn to high ropes in the afternoon — is designed for this setting.
