Peak Experience Adventure
Gunnison National Forest, Colorado
This summer, from August 1st through August 7th, Brighton students will have an opportunity to travel to Gunnison National Forest in Colorado for a seven-day adventure. Over the course of the trip, students will rock climb, participate in low and high ropes course activities, and backpack. Rope course activities include zip lines, power poles, repelling, and “The Screamer”. The three-day backpack traverses through the Gunnison National Forest where we will climb mountains over 13,000 feet high. Weather permitting, one of our peak ascents will be at dawn, which is a truly amazing experience. Current eighth graders through juniors are eligible for the trip, and spots are limited. If you are interested in joining the group and would like more information on the activities and cost of the trip, please contact Jamie Porta (the Outdoor Club advisor) at jamie_porta@bcsd.org.
