Summit College was a Canadian Bible college, founded in 1996 by Kaj Ballantyne as a place where a small number of students could come each year for intense, indoor Bible classes, a strong, supportive community structure, and a variety of extreme outdoor sports and experiences. In 2007, the Ballantynes stepped down after eleven years of running the program. Jay Cornish, the previous Director of the Boundless program, took over as the Director of Summit. Due to structural and leadership changes at MBC, Summit was suspended in the fall of 2008, to undergo evaluation and possible restructuring.

Famous quotes containing the words summit and/or college:
“The tops of mountains are among the unfinished parts of the globe, whither it is a slight insult to the gods to climb and pry into their secrets, and try their effect on our humanity. Only daring and insolent men, perchance, go there. Simple races, as savages, do not climb mountains,—their tops are sacred and mysterious tracts never visited by them. Pomola is always angry with those who climb the summit of Ktaadn.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer. Oxford is Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet, and Sheffield grinds steel. They know the use of a tutor, as they know the use of a horse; and they draw the greatest amount of benefit from both. The reading men are kept by hard walking, hard riding, and measured eating and drinking, at the top of their condition, and two days before the examination, do not work but lounge, ride, or run, to be fresh on the college doomsday.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
