Steger Center Vision
The idea behind the Steger Center came to be during an Antarctica Expedition, manifested in a detailed drawing of a five-story leadership center designed to inspire leaders to solve real-world problems. The inception of the Steger Center acknowledges that navigating through challenging times necessitates a collective and intentional effort. By creating space and time for people to pause, rejuvenate, enhance awareness, broaden perspectives, and foster deeper relationships, the Steger Center’s wilderness environment inspires and empowers leaders to create positive change.

Building the Center
The Steger Center began taking form in 1998, during a time when Will Steger and his team were training for one of their most daunting expeditions. The first bags of cement and gravel were brought in by dog sled – to lay the foundation for today’s expansive facility. With five stories constructed, the vision for this one-of-a-kind facility is nearly realized.
