New and returning students to WNY P-TECH recently enjoyed a sun-soaked summer adventure at Peek’n Peak Resort.
The annual trek is part of the weeklong Summer Bridge program through Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES, and includes a host of activities highlighting the school’s different pathways. CAM P-TECH in Springville recently concluded its Summer Bridge program, capped off with a pathway signing ceremony.
At Peek’n Peak, dozens of students took part in several outdoor challenges, including the Aerial Adventure Course, Giant Zipline, Soaring Eagle, and mini golf. Among the students to participate were Audiyanna Cheverez, Gautier Delgado, and Myah Benjamin of Dunkirk, Thomas Keele of Holland, James McCrory of Lake Shore, and Trista Dunlap of Jamestown.
A handful of faculty and staff from WNY P-TECH also participated in the daylong fun.

“We all felt that the 2025 Summer Bridge program went extremely well,” WNY P-TECH Principal Jeffrey Teluk said. “While some previous activities remained, many changed this year and were geared toward career path exposure while still maintaining the icebreaker aspect.”
Activities this year included a video scavenger hunt, learning about drones, blacksmithing, and team-building exercises.
Teluk said the cohort of freshmen students is coming in with “awesome attitudes” ahead of the new school year that begins Sept. 2.
“The interaction between new and existing students was friendly and helpful,” Teluk said of Summer Bridge.
Regarding Peek’n Peak, the principal said the event “went perfectly this year.” In addition to the great weather, he noted that almost every incoming freshman participated.
