A LETTER FROM

   THE FOUNDERS

Ryan - I grew up in the Amazon jungles of Ecuador. Playing in the outdoors was a part of my life every day. When I returned to the States, it amazed me that my peers spent the vast majority of their time watching TV and playing video games. I couldn't believe they didn’t want to enjoy the outdoors like I did. The older I got, I saw more and more youth spending their time indoors, giving up interacting with one of God’s greatest creative acts.

Getting kids off the couch and into the wilderness has an incredible impact on kids. It not only challenges their strength and endurance, but it can bring hope for a better life, teaches teamwork, and provides a high better than any drug. Most of all, it is an incredible way to learn of God’s awesome power and creativity.

Robbie and I started Peak 7 Adventures to help people enjoy the wilderness in a safe and challenging way. As we saw the impact it had on the lives of young people, God started impressing on our hearts that the opportunity to enjoy His creation is a privilege that every child should have. Our focus has now become giving every kid the opportunity to do this. All of our trips are subsidized by donors and more than 75% of our youth receive full scholarships to participate.

As our ministry grows and is able to reach out to more young people, we are looking for teammates who share our passion. We want others to be able to come alongside us and give of their resources in this order: prayer, time and money. If this is something you feel you could be a part of, please contact us at Peak 7 Adventures to see how you can enhance the life of young people as they experience the outdoors.

Thank you for your support,
