A youth’s teenage years often bring on a period of transition and change: moving into high school; making important decisions about school careers and life direction; making new friends; developing new ways of thinking. This course provides a contemporary “rite of passage” for adolescents from all walks of life, and an opportunity to discover new confidence, self-esteem, and amazing strengths and capabilities. Our highly qualified instructors give participants plenty of individual and group attention; their energy and enthusiasm for the wilderness help make this trip an experience that will last a lifetime. Each trip consists of a few days of adventure activities at our base, and followed by a multi-day expedition.
Results include:
• Group/Personal Trust Development
• Enhanced participant resiliency/coping skills
• Improved communication skills
• Focus on wellness
• Personal and group challenges
• Understanding boundaries
• Group cooperation skills
• Developing positive relationships
• Self esteem and personal confidence
• Evaluation of comfort/growth zones
