Why Summit School?
It is no secret that youth come alive in the outdoors! Especially in the wake of COVID-19 and quarantine, adventure and learning in the mountains is a powerful invitation to bring students out of themselves to an authentic encounter with the beauty and goodness of the natural world. Not only do they learn about nature, wonder, and the value of working together; students will also discover who they are as leaders, their own unique strengths, and critical thinking skills! But don’t listen to us! Hear from those who have come to the Summit School themselves!!
