Communities are where friendships grow, passions unite, and activities thrive on MissionPeak. Whether you’re joining a hiking group, starting a local club, or building a space for your close friends, Communities give you the platform to connect and organize around shared interests.
What is a Community?
A Community is a group of people who come together on MissionPeak to share common interests, organize Huddles, post content, and build lasting connections. Communities can be small and private (like a close group of friends) or large and public (like a regional hiking club).
Think of Communities as your virtual basecamp—a place where members gather, plan, and inspire each other.
