About Activities

MissionPeak is built around outdoor activities — the type of activity you choose shapes what a Huddle looks like, what stats get tracked when you record, and what counts toward a Challenge.

What is an Activity Type?​

An activity type is the kind of outdoor activity something on MissionPeak is centered around — for example General or Hiking. Activity types show up in a few places:

  • Huddles — choosing an activity type when creating a Huddle enables type-specific features (like trail details for Hiking).
  • Records — recording an activity with a specific type captures type-relevant stats.
  • Challenges — some Challenge goals are tied to a specific activity type.

MissionPeak continues to add support for more activity types over time.

Why Activity Types Matter​

Choosing the right activity type helps MissionPeak:

  • Show you the right fields and options when creating a Huddle or recording an activity.
  • Track meaningful, type-specific stats (like elevation gain for a hike).
  • Match you with the right Huddles, Communities, and Challenges for the activities you care about.
