About the Owners

A Passion for the Outdoors Brought Indoors

Amy Stuart and Dan Kasabian are passionate about life. They believe individuals and families need opportunities to disconnect from the everyday grind and reconnect to self and each other. As tenured business professionals, Dan and Amy remain avid outdoor adventure enthusiasts and enjoy sharing this passion with family and friends. Their adventures in the outdoors, including successful summits of some of the tallest mountains in the U.S., fuel mind and body for these two successful IT Sales Professionals. They have brought their passion to the residents of Loudoun County through an entrepreneurial quest called Summit Ropes.  Summit Ropes represents their combined 50+ years of experience and a life passion for the outdoors. This is Dan and Amy’s way of sharing this passion; bringing the outdoors inside through an exciting ropes course adventure.

Our Mission

Incorporate vertical challenges and adventure-based activities to connect an individual’s mind and body, eliciting awareness within oneself to positively impact self-esteem, family interactions and the community.​

Our Vision

In today’s technological world, we can meet anyone, anywhere at any time. Every minute is consumed with text and social media. As interactions expand, superficial interface has become standard and deeper connection diminished. Self-awareness and focus are increasingly difficult, and the natural play required to cultivate these skills is missing from our daily lives.

At Summit Ropes, we believe people need opportunities to connect with self and with each other. Utilizing adventure-based vertical activity, we provide an environment that promotes self-awareness, social health, and mental acuity.

Our Values

A Message from the Founders

The parents of four boys, we value opportunities to disconnect from the everyday grind in pursuit of family fun and taking time out for self-reflection and to connect with one another is important to both of us. Together, we have summited some of the highest mountains across the country, ventured on many of the most dangerous hikes and trekked across the world. With our boys, we love to camp, hike, bike and participate in all types of adventure. 

As a family, we have visited challenge courses across the country, spanning from Hawaii to New York, and throughout this activity, we’ve seen our boys grow both physically and mentally. Their physical skills improve with each activity and their mental agility grows as they tackle harder challenges while helping each other through seemingly impossible obstacles. These activities improve each of us as human beings and bring us together as a family, all the while, we are becoming acutely aware of ourselves and our capacity for learning and helping others.

We are driven by the desire to provide these opportunities to our community, bringing families together by providing a place like no other in the United States; a place to explore, be challenged, use creativity, socialize and connect with each other. Summit Ropes brings the outdoors inside for year-round fun, and we are excited to welcome you into our facility to share in our passion for life and to experience an adventure that promotes self, family and community.
