Empower Leadership - Middletown, Connecticut

Empower is awesome. They have facilitated many events and activities for our school. Most recently, Dan and Zack led fun, engaging and challenging team building and problem solving games for our 12th grade peer leaders. The upbeat energy Dan brings is only part of what makes these games so engaging for the students . He also debriefs after each activity to make sure the participants can see the connections to leadership skills they’re learning. Empower never disappoints and we are grateful for the enrichment they bring to our program!

Empower was one of the best choices we made for our orientation leader training this summer. They did a great job at helping our OLs learn how to be a team and build some foundational skills that they’ve been able to use throughout our June session.

Many of the students were the ones who prompted me to write this. Empower visiting campus is something that they truly enjoyed and I believe it has made a profound difference on the staff.

Had a great time with my kids doing the Zipline tour last Friday. So much fun and it is exhilarating to “fly through the air.” We loved the opportunity to try some of the obstacles in the trees as well. I really surprised myself on the tightrope and cargo net obstacles...enjoyed the challenge!
The staff is great...friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic. We can’t wait to come back for another adventure. Highly recommend!

We really liked this place. Before I booked our trip, a staff member generously offered to show us the course and explained how things work. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable and knew how to engage and interest my boys (ages 13 and 11). After his tour, I immediately booked the outing for my husband's birthday. The unique canopy ziplining and obstacle course was on a quiet Sunday morning with 2 guides.
The outing was with our family of 4 and 2 others. It was very cool, exhilarating of course, and even mom, who isn't burning up any tennis courts these days successfully made it across the physical challenge.
To be tucked inside the beauty of the forest for a couple hours was a step above our usual nature walks at ground level.
Wonderful family time for us and I highly recommend for anyone, any age any group.

My first time ziplining and am so happy it was with Empower. The staff is phenomenal, had to reschedule and the process was so easy thanks to Dan. Our 2 tour guides Jeff and Dave were super cool & professional, along with the rest of the staff as well. We were greeted at the car, which was very nice. Our group of 8 was very impressed (different age range) and we all had a great time. The courses were amazing as well couldn’t have asked for better. Will definitely be coming back soon!

I had an amazing time at EMPOWER! My guides were Ben and Griffin. They are so nice and fun. I am happy to have had them as guides. The zip lines were amazing! You could just feel the breeze wash over you while you were hanging 60 feet in the air looking at the beautiful scenery. I loved my experience. Thanks EMPOWER!

My daughter bought us a package for my birthday. Adventures and memories over materials she said. And it certainly was. We had an amazing time with Dan, Julia and Lucas. Wonderful people. We had so much fun, what a fantastic day. Our leaders kept us informed and made sure we were always challenged, while feeling completely confident with the equipment, the structures and our leaders. I would recommend this to anyone. Thanks for a great time!

Great zip line course with excellent staff. Plenary of thrill and excitement. I’ve done some tree climbing and our crew was super safe. It’s a tad expensive but worth it. We’ll be back.

Ps take the cargo net side if you want a challenge- our two kids did and ask what is the 7 rope skip technique... 😉
