Chewelah Peak is a year-round facility located 50 miles north of Spokane. The Center sits at the 4,000-foot level of Chewelah Peak on 20 acres of wilderness land. It first opened its doors in September 2003 to support outdoor learning for K-12 students in eastern Washington. Chewelah Peak Learning Center offers a wide array of amenities to K-12 school groups, higher education institutions and other organizations that share in our mission.

Chewelah Peak plays host each summer to AWSP’s student leadership camps as well as year-round outdoor science education programs that offer students exciting hands on learning opportunities aligned to state standards. The facility is also often used for team-building exercises, as well as conferences, picnics, ski & stay groups, retreats, and other tourist accommodations.

Long range plans include adding a Gazebo, The Gathering Place (large meeting and conference center), Dorm C, Chalet, Auditorium and additional outdoor campfire and classroom areas.
