In 2022, Peak 7 Adventures partnered with the Airway Heights Police Department to launch PAL (Police Adventure League)—a program designed to engage under-resourced teens in Cheney Public Schools through outdoor adventure and mentorship. Working alongside Youth Engagement Specialist (YES) Patrick Carbaugh, TALK 2 Healthy Choices Coalition, Communities In Schools, and school counselors, PAL identifies students who may benefit from structured, adventure-based programming to encourage positive choices and personal growth.

The summer PAL program initially launched as a six-week program offering youth a new adventure each day, paired with free meals, transportation, and team-building activities. In 2023, we continued with a four-week session, and in 2024, we expanded to two four-week sessions to reach even more students!

Beyond summer programming, PAL now offers year-round opportunities, including rock climbing, rafting, and backpacking trips for both male and female students. This initiative is made possible through collaboration with the West Plains Safety Alliance, Cheney Public Schools, and the Airway Heights Police Department.
