The PEAK Approach
About PEAK
Partner with PEAK: Purpose-Driven Outdoor Programs for Groups, Teams, and Organizations
Founded in 1998, PEAK (Programs for Environmental Awareness and Knowledge) is a trusted provider of hands-on, experiential learning through outdoor adventure, environmental education, and leadership development.
