The Summit to Sea Institute is where curiosity meets the natural world through our outdoor adventure programs. We design and deliver highly immersive asynchronous science education that spans the ecological spectrum—from alpine peaks to coastal tidepools. Our experiential curriculum weaves together biology, wildlife, forestry, ecology, and other natural resource studies with essential concepts such as chemistry, physics, and mathematics to foster critical thinking, environmental literacy, and a lifelong appreciation for Earth's systems.
Founded on the belief that understanding leads to stewardship, The Summit to Sea Institute equips learners of all ages to engage with science through hands-on discovery and peer interactions. Whether navigating forest ecosystems, exploring aquatic biodiversity, or deciphering climate patterns, our programs encourage active inquiry and connect participants with the science that shapes our planet through individual, group, and citizen science projects.
By blending academic rigor with outdoor adventure, we don’t just teach science—we cultivate the next generation of environmental leadership.
