Stony Acres' team of Challenge Course instructors features some of the region's leading experts in Experience Based Training. Many have worked in corporate and institutional settings before joining our team. In fact, some still do! Their real world experience dealing with the challenges your group is facing enables them to introduce exercises and experiences that address successfully those challenges.
Madeline Constantine
Madeline's career facilitating team building and leadership programs spans nearly 20 years. As Program Director, Madeline has developed Stony Acres' team of trainers and insures that Stony Acres remains at the forefront of challenge course design and technology.
Elaine Hatala
Elaine has been facilitating team building and leadership training programs since 1985.

Lars Hawley
Lars spent nearly a decade in corporate management before crossing over into the training field. He is a member of the Association for Experiential Education and has spent the past ten years working in the field.

Donnie Burchell
Donnie is thoroughly experienced at conducting team building, leadership, and motivational training programs. He is an expert hiker, and rock climber who has tackled the entire Appalachian Trail along with a number of America's toughest climbs.
