OUR MISSION: CONNECT. INSPIRE. ENGAGE. GROW.

As creators of meaningful outdoor learning experiences, action-learning adventures and high impact team-building events, we deliver customized pinnacle experiences that provide opportunities for people to build meaningful connections, challenge themselves, expand their perspectives, become inspired, be fully engaged, and grow.

We are all about people helping people! 

OUR WHY:

 

WE BELIEVE...that in a world that is constantly changing in complexity, continues to grow in demands and expectations, and where ‘disconnect’ is becoming more prevalent, the same thread of humanness continues to run through each of us: the need and drive to be curious, learn, connect with others, understand and be understood, feel valued among peers, trust one another, take risks, challenge ourselves, live and work with purpose, and achieve. These qualitative experiences may be difficult to measure, but that does not undermine their importance; they have an enormous impact on personal growth, confidence, happiness, and overall performance and success in all areas of life. We believe that these are the most important qualities and values for both individuals and teams, and also for humanity as a whole. 

At Pinnacle Pursuits, we dedicate our work and focus to the design and delivery of such experiences.

The Pinnacle Pursuits Team is Here to Answer All Your Questions!
