FAQs

  • While Summit’s home office is based in Bastrop, Texas, we have the unique opportunity to step into various natural areas around the USA to provide unique programs and offer life-changing experiences for our participants, wherever you need us. We operate mainly in Texas and Colorado at this time, but plan to expand soon!

  • Program fees vary based on type, location, length, and equipment/staff needed.
    Summit’s programs utilize professional leaders, research-based curricula, and impactful experiences. Your program fees cover all this and more.

  • Great question! Summit needs 3 main means of support in order to operate:

    1) Prayer — You can join us in praying at 4:11 daily, as well as any time we come to mind.

    2) Provision — we invite you to contribute to Summit through a monthly financial donation, end-of-year gift, or donation of physical equipment we could utilize for our operations. You may also contribute financially to support our staff!

    3) Participation — while most of our programs take place in the great outdoors, there are some exceptions! Join us for a skill-building course, workshop, or custom training event! Check our programs calendar to see everything we offer.
