The Charles L. Sommers Alumni Association, Inc. (SAA) is a non-profit incorporated in 1992 by a group of visionaries including former staff members, long-time volunteers, and supporters of the Northern Tier National High Adventure program.  These organizers had a simple vision to organize a non-profit that would “provide a continuing interest in and support for the mission and programs of the Charles L. Sommers National High Adventure Base and the Northern Tier National High Adventure Program”.
