Welcome to Chewelah Peak Learning Center!
|
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.
