School Retreats and Outdoor Education programs that put students first 

Imagine Peak Performance!™ ...

...settings so beautiful

     ...programs so powerful

    ...results so satisfying. 

Imagine a school on top of a mountain... 

Peak Performance! offers school retreat and outdoor education programs at a range of spectacular sites throughout the Southwest, chosen to provide the best setting for the educational and behavioral objectives set by the school. 

These sites offer a variety of accommodations to fit your needs, ranging from comfortable lodges with semi-private rooms, and dormitory-style bunk houses to platform tents and primitive camping sites.  In any setting, the food service is top notch. 

Climbing walls and high and low challenge courses are learning labs where you test real life situations without real life consequences.  Small group discussions bring meaning to the experience.  Action plans provide a road map towards implementing decisions and growth. 

Imagine a curriculum where you learn by doing and where the lessons last a lifetime... 

Peak Performance! programs are designed to enhance personal development and group dynamics.  Whether a program focuses on student government associations, athletic teams, or individual classes or grades; whether it lasts a day or a week; whether it’s residential or remote backcountry, students learn important skills like goalsetting, team building, risk taking, problem solving, and leadership. 

As importantly, they learn to know and value themselves, their culture, and their contributions.  They begin to understand how to interact effectively with others, enroute to becoming competent, capable, caring, citizens. 

Unlike outdoor and environmental education programs, Peak Performance! experiences focus on student affective growth and development as a primary objective, which is accomplished in exciting outdoor settings.  (Versus outdoor programs where personal growth is a by-product of camping or hiking together.)  Other programs say they customize programs for each school–Peak does it.
