meet the team
Altitude Mission is overseen by our board of Trustees. The day-to-day running of Altitude during the winter season is done by our staff and Altituders. Our Altituders are with us for the whole season, and help to run and initiate all the mission projects. Finally, our Chaplains join us for a week or two at a time, to minister, serve, encourage, and mentor.
