WEEKEND EVENTS

At the heart of the programs for teenagers, these experiences are structured along the lines of traditional rites-of-passage or initiations – adapted for modern times. Symbolism and metaphor are used extensively. Mythodrama, role play and nature experiences encourage teens to question their socio-cultural behavior patterns. The adult mentors serve as role models, without having to be perfect.

​

Our weekends include the Honeyguide Weekend for girls and boys ages 9 to 12, the Owl Weekend for families, and gender-specific Rites of Passage Adventures for teens ages 12 to 17. Each weekend is followed by ongoing group mentoring, so youth keep the support of their mentors long after the experience ends.
