Inspiring Youth Stories

Harry is able to just be with himself for the first time in his life. He was always needing others around for his entertainment and now, he seeks out solitude on his own and is at peace and enjoys time to himself. He is more confident socially. He trusts my opinion (mom) and I have heard "You are right, Mom!" for the first three times of his WHOLE life. We’re just so, so happy with the young individual he is becoming. I have complete confidence in his life trajectory because he is truly grounded in the stuff in life that matters. The kind of stuff one can only learn by going outside to look inside.”

Whether it was navigating challenging waters, facing the elements, or working together as a team to overcome obstacles, every day presented a new adventure and a chance to learn and grow. One of the highlights of the trip was the deep connection we formed with nature. Spending time in the wilderness allowed us to appreciate the beauty of our environment and gain a greater sense of responsibility toward preserving it. The lessons I learned about sustainability and environmental stewardship are ones that I carry with me to this day.”
