We use Summit to help students process and reflect on what occurs during an adventure experience and their life. Summit is a relational arts practice that encourages honest communication and meaningful connection. It intentionally creates a dedicated time for students to consider how the experience is affecting them.
To shift the dynamics of ordinary conversation and encourage deeper listening, Summit is conducted as a formal, structured process. Pictured here is the well-loved Snap, a simple yet meaningful way to "I hear you" without interrupting.
Through Summit, students develop self-awareness, empathy, communication skills, and a stronger sense of community, making it one of the most impactful traditions of the adventure experience.
