About us

As you well know, people today are looking for experiences that give meaning to life. What could be more meaningful than testing your personal limits in the limitless setting of God's amazing creation?

Peak 7 Adventures is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in Washington and Oregon serving youth (primarily underprivileged and at-risk). Our goal is to get these people out of their comfort zone and experience the adventurous outdoors. Experiencing the outdoors can help you learn more about yourself as well as building teamwork with your peers or cohorts. We believe that by spending time in the wilderness, taking risks and seeking solitude, you will gain more than just adventure skills that will help you succeed and handle problems. You will learn valuable skills and may choose to make exploring the outdoors a regular part of your life.

Money should not a drawback here. We provide a low prices and scholarships so that everyone can experience the adventure.

We are dedicated to challenging people to discover who they are in relation to who God is. We accomplish this goal through rafting, kayaking, hiking and camping. We have prepared several exciting itineraries throughout the Pacific Northwest, but are more than willing to tailor our adventure trips to meet the needs of specific groups.

Peak 7 Adventures has great ACA (American Canoe Association) certified raft guides, an ACA certified kayak instructor, and high-experienced volunteers that make the trips happen. By the end of your Peak 7 Adventures experience we hope you will have had an unforgettable time and appreciate the outdoors more, thereby appreciate its Creator as well.
