Stan Wood (The Palmetto GC of South Carolina Zone VIII) is a teacher and coach who founded the PEAK (Pursuit of Environmental Adventure and Knowledge) Program at Heathwood Hall in Columbia, South Carolina. PEAK presents students with hands-on opportunities in wilderness exploration, environmental education, and leadership development. From exploring their own 100-acre campus to scaling Mt. Kilimanjaro, Stan has taught generations of children to see the natural world as he does - something beautiful and something fragile and something worth protecting.
