The Summit Adventure Immersion Service and Adventure Semester gives college students and gap year participants opportunities to immerse themselves in powerful outdoor adventure and cross-cultural service learning. The High Sierra of Central California and the Andes around Quito, Ecuador provide the settings for academic courses in leadership, communication,spiritual formation, cross-cultural ministry, and outdoor physical education. These courses offer between 16-18 credits which can be transferred directly to any student’s college or university. Three months of Christ-centered adventure-based learning and community living in high mountains and foreign cultures will change you forever.

This is the opportunity of a lifetime. Serve in a developing nation,
climb to 19,000’ in the Andes,
backpack and
ski in Yosemite National Park, all the while learning about each experience from a Christian academic perspective. When you’re not having classes in Ecuador,
living with an Ecuadorian family, or exploring Yosemite, you’ll get to live in Summit Adventure’s Basecamp, a rustic cabin heated by a wood-burning stove. This semester is rigorous in its demands, academically, physically, and spiritually. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
