It’s that time of year again—Summit is dusting off the chicken brooder! 🐣 It’s more than science-based learning—it’s about patience, consistency, and watching small things grow into something bigger. 🌱🐓

🌲 Yes, we hike. 🥾
At Summit Achievement, hiking isn’t just an activity—it’s a cornerstone of our adventure therapy.

Because sometimes the best progress happens one step at a time, out on the trail.

Meet Blake — one of our incredible guides at Summit Achievement! Whether jumping into a local swimming hole or cuddling a baby goat, Blake is right there in it with our students. He leads with heart and reminds us that growth happens when we show up fully, together.

Disc golf isn’t just a game—it’s a grounding practice.

When our students step onto the course, they do more than aim for the basket. They’re practicing patience, staying present, managing frustration, and celebrating small wins.
Plus, it’s just plain fun.

🌈Pride isn’t just a month-it’s a mindset. At Summit Achievement, we believe in showing up for the LGBTQ+ community every day, all day. Support doesn’t end in June. It’s ongoing, intentional, & woven into everything we do. 🏳️‍🌈✨

A 2019 Danish study shows that children who spend more time in nature and have greener surroundings have a lower risk of developing mental health issues. Outdoor play strengthens the immune system, builds resilience, and sparks creativity even in wet and messy conditions. Will you get messy today?

Meet our amazing chef, Kate, whose culinary philosophy is rooted in community building & supporting the community with healthy, local, & organic food. She appreciates that healthy food is part of the whole picture of student treatment and health. Thank you, Kate, for all you do for our students!

Collaboration is key! When our teams collaborate, we all benefit, especially our students. Special thanks to Matt Woodhall and Summit Achievement CEO, co-owner, & clinical director Nichol Ernst, who presented on "tips and tricks from a therapist's toolbox" to build connection & support students.

We are about to turn the corner on winter as Spring approaches, though it might take a bit longer up here in Maine! Interested in learning more about our continuum of care? Visit our website!
