The Friday plan after class

Summit opens at five on Fridays, six minutes from campus. Book one lane for a few friends or the whole hall under one reservation, and an axe-pert runs the safety talk and teaches the throw before anyone picks up an axe.

Every throw scores on the board, so a hall night turns into a tournament without anyone planning one.

  • Res-hall and floor nights on one reservation
  • Campus ministries and student organizations
  • Homecoming and family weekend visits
  • Birthdays and end-of-semester send-offs

No drink required

The evening is the throwing. Bring your own food or have takeout delivered from the restaurants a block away, and drink whatever you like. Happy Street Brü Werks pours beer and hard seltzer on site for guests 21 and over who want it; plenty of groups never order a thing.

What it costs

Sixty minutes is $30 per person, ninety is $35, and two hours is $40, with coaching and every axe included. Military members, veterans, and first responders get 10% off if you ask before checkout.

Book before it fills
