Shared Summits Mission
Shared Summits goal is to encourage kids to slay dragons,
cure diseases, fight poverty, or reach for the stars. Everest, though a cold
and brutal place, graciously serves as a fitting metaphor for making any dream
come true.
Earth Treks' Shared Summits Program facilitates the
intellectual and emotional development of school-age children by introducing them
to the captivating pursuit of mountaineering. Through the use of state-of-the-art
digital technology, students become virtual participants in mountain climbing
expeditions to the highest and most brilliant landscapes in the world. These meaningful
and unique educational experiences will not only expose students to the
cultures, geography, and lore which surround the greatest peaks on Earth, but will
allow them to gain a true appreciation for the value of teamwork, trust,
perseverance, and goal achievement.
