Solutions Focused Results

“5 Peaks is a great program. They have a very caring staff and our students respond well to them.”

Rich Gifford - Superintendent/Principal Black Butte School District

“Micheal and Trent are simply wonderful! We've had 5 Peaks coming to our program for several years now and I think they are my favorite team we've ever hosted. They are responsible and attentive with the kids, communicative with my staff, flexible when asked and open and responsive with feedback and any issues that may arise.”

Christy Tatro - Afterschool Program facilitator - Evergreen Elementary

"So far I've seen a lot of positives in my students growth, they love going to 5 Peaks and it definitely seems like the conversations are working well for them! The staff are great about communicating as well, if something comes up during a meeting, or if there's an issue. They're also very flexible and open to working with students who aren't on the regular schedule when available.”

Emily Thompson - Teacher

"I greatly appreciated that my students received the high-quality, targeted support they truly need. I valued that the coaches took the time to provide a clear summary of each group’s focus and how the students performed. The timing of the student pull-outs was very well planned, as it allowed for a brief instructional reset for me, which was extremely helpful as a teacher. The coaches quickly built strong connections with the students, and communication was consistently clear and effective throughout."

Megan Babin - Teacher

Boulder Creek Elementary School

“Staff are reliable and dependable. Communication is timely and appreciated. Students seem to enjoy the groups.”

John Selke - Principal, Cypress Elementary School

"I love this program. It’s been good for my kids, the freshman and sophomores. They’ve been able to take the method…as they mature as freshman and sophomores to use the information and methods provided to ask for help. When they have an issue in class… we can all take a step back and start using the methods [Basecamp] has provided."

Judy Spencer, Teacher- Reach Continuation High School

"Basecamp has given me the tools to navigate relationships and become more happier and fulfilled. I have learned to be honest with myself and evaluate situations and problems that arise. I have really learned to look for solutions rather than avoiding and not completing.

Cory M. - High School Student
