Program Description:

For the first time we are offering a unique quest experience for parents and children.
This quest, designed for the entire family, will offer a profound rites of passage     experience for children and parents alike. We begin as a group and then journey alone for 2 to 4 days in nature. After, we will gather together and celebrate this     passage and share how we will integrate this experience into our everyday lives.

Ages and Prerequisites: Families with children age 7-17

This program is designed for families to attend together and is open for youth and teens age 7-17.  Parents must participate in the program with their children.  During the program, kids are divided into age appropriate groups and the parents, while participating sometimes with their children, also have their own “quest” and workshops on how to further the lessons for their children and themselves.    Students must have completed the Family, Youth or Teen Experience and Philosophy.
