Hands-on leadership adventure for youth, by youth

​
-
Building Confidence: Empowering individuals to trust in their abilities.

Fostering Self-Reliance: Encouraging independence and resourcefulness.
-
Learning Responsibility: Teaching the importance of accountability in a team setting.

Teamwork Skills: Developing the ability to work effectively with others.

Learning Wilderness Environmental Stewardship and respect for the land, nature, and wildlife.
Set in an outdoor environment, the program aims to disconnect participants from the distractions of everyday technology, like cell phones, the internet, and social media. This setting allows them to connect more deeply with themselves and their peers, fostering community and teamwork while learning to live in the natural world. Participants often return home with a renewed sense of excitement and a wealth of unique experiences.
