There’s no better place to end a day outdoors than around a campfire. Join us for s’mores, stories, laughter, and relaxed conversation as we unwind together. Whether you’re reconnecting with old friends or meeting someone new, this is your chance to slow down and enjoy one of Summit’s favorite traditions.
Get out on the water for a fun and relaxing boating experience. Enjoy the fresh air, scenic views, and a slower pace as you explore the lake with fellow Summit attendees. Equipment and basic instruction will be provided.
Hiking is better with your dog by your side! This session will cover tips for safely and confidently hitting the trail with your four-legged adventure buddy. Learn about trail etiquette, packing essentials for your pup, hydration and nutrition, and how to choose dog-friendly hikes. Whether you’re new to hiking with your dog or looking to improve your routine, you’ll leave feeling prepared for your next adventure together.
Every adventure begins with a single step—and this weekend is no different. Join us as we kick off the Summit by welcoming old friends, meeting new ones, and setting the tone for an unforgettable weekend together.
Through stories, reflection, and interactive conversation, we'll explore the idea that we can do hard things—on the trail, in our everyday lives, and within ourselves. Whether you're here to challenge yourself, find community, or simply reconnect with nature, this session is your opportunity to arrive fully, embrace the weekend ahead, and remember that you are capable of more than you think.
