Glacier Peak Institute

We are a community of mentors, educators, and families who are passionate about the future of the Glacier Peak Region and believe that a stronger future starts with our kids. Our faculty lives for the outdoors and is passionate about the lasting impact that outdoor connection has on kids’ health. Our students are part of a rural community greatly impacted by devastating natural disasters and a need for educational opportunities. They’re part of the next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators—it’s our mission to show them what’s possible.

We empower youth to build resilient and sustainable rural communities and healthy ecosystems across the Glacier Peak region of Western Washington through innovative, action-based education programs integrating Science, Technology, recreation, Engineering, art, Mathematics, and skill-building (STrEaMs).
