What We Do

Welcome to The Peaks Retreat and Adventure Center, where unforgettable events and outdoor adventure come together! Our team of expert facilitators welcome groups from kindergarten classes to corporations, both locally and nationwide. We are dedicated to ensuring learners of all ages can experience the beauty of the outdoors, grow beyond their comfort zones, and form memories that will last a lifetime. 

Nestled on 66 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains, The Peaks offers both indoor and outdoor spaces perfect for any occasion. Our 7,500 square-foot main indoor facility features a 560 square-foot commercial kitchen and a 3,800 square-foot event hall that opens to a 2-acre event lawn, capable of hosting both large and small events. Planning an overnight event? With 5,700 square feet of lodging that accommodates up to 80 guests, we’ve got you covered.  

In addition to our event spaces, we offer multiple glamping sites that can sleep up to 8 people, giving guests a comfortable glamping experience. The Peaks property also includes a variety of outdoor adventure activities, including a 9-hole disc golf course, 40-foot climbing wall, low ropes course, 400-foot zip-line, swimming pool, 1-acre pond for canoeing or fishing, an outdoor stage, fire pits, a sand volleyball court, and a cement basketball court.  

At The Peaks, we’re dedicated to helping you plan and bring your event to life, whether it’s a corporate retreat, a family gathering, or a kids camp. With our versatile spaces and exciting outdoor activities, The Peaks is the perfect place to create lasting memories. Join us as we ensure every learner has the chance to live life elevated!
