Summit Sisters

Our Story

Founded by Julie Hakes in 2022

Julie launched Summit Sisters after seeing how outdoor adventure and faith-centered community can unlock healing. The ministry now serves women across Michigan who want to grow in courage, confidence, and purpose.

Our signature healing hikes create safe space for at-risk women to breathe fresh air, connect with God, and walk with a trusted sisterhood.

What we believe

  • • Every woman is created on purpose and for a purpose.
  • • Healing happens in community, nature, and faith.
  • • Outdoor skills build confidence for everyday life.
  • • Compassion and safety are non-negotiable.
