PEAK Community Events

PEAK offers programs for youth and adults that range from structured skill-specific events to relaxed "just for fun and fellowship" events, and everything in between! Events typically run 2, 4, or 6 hours (all day), with the exception of more speciality events that might take place off-campus or include overnight camping.

Community hosts collaborate with PEAK Staff to plan unique events, and we encourage you to come for a site visit and see the possibilities for yourself! Adventure activities available will vary based on the age(s) of participants, the number of participants, the length of the event, and more - check out a list of possible adventure activities below.

Goals

In addition to preferred activities, PEAK takes into account the goals of your group. Any of our adventure activities can be facilitated in a variety of ways to achieve a variety of results. An easy way to think about this is considering the activity with 

• ...an emphasis on skill development (how to belay a climber, how to use a compass)
• ...an emphasis on community (empathy, communication, conflict resolution, teamwork)

• ...an emphasis on fun, adventure, personal development (healthy risk taking, knowing yourself, personal accomplishment)

  Adventure Activities 

• Odyssey Course (high ropes, designed for teamwork)
• Alpine Tower (high ropes, individual challenge, active belays) 
• SkyPark (high ropes, 7th grade and up only, individual challenge, "choose your own adventure")
• Giant Swing (30ft pendulum swing)
• Archery (archery range, instruction, competitions)
• Pond (paddling - canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, fishing)
• Climbing Wall (bouldering wall)
• Initiatives (on-the-ground problem solving/creative thinking challenges for groups)
• Hiking/Biking (nature trails on and off campus)
• Camping (hammocks and tents, on and off campus)
• Off-campus Adventures (river trips, guided hikes, camping, etc)
• Orienteering & other specific Outdoor/Scout Skills (e.g., how to start a fire, how to pitch a tent)

• Specific lessons/experiences related to science standards, the environment (e.g, habitats, plant/animal adaptations, Leave No Trace, watersheds/water quality)
