The Rites of Passage for Teenage Boys is back this Summer from July 29th to August 2nd!
All older cultures initiated their children into adulthood through a Rite of Passage, and this has been lost in our culture, with no clear path into adulthood.
Now, more than ever, young men can feel a pressure to prove that they are a man, too often in ways that are destructive to themselves and others.
We provide a Rites of Passage experience for teenage boys from 13 to 17, guiding them through a structured transition into mature adulthood, using overcoming adversity in a natural environment, in the form of a survival quest.
The camps provide a supportive environment for teenagers to understand and confront their own boundaries and come up with their own learning about themselves.
The boys will practice more adult ways of being, ways of speaking and thinking, taking responsibility for their own behaviour.
Benefits include:
• Building self-respect and confidence.
• A lifelong deep connection with nature.
• Emotional awareness and self-expression.
• Improved emotional intelligence, mental health, and resilience.
• The ability to form positive relationships with peers and the opposite sex.
• Reduced vulnerability to self-destructive and anti-social behaviours and criminality.
The camp consists of 5 days and 4 nights camping in natural woodland. The young men will be taught survival and nature connection skills that are derived from a Lipan Apache tradition.
They will experience a 24-hour survival quest, where they are ceremonially cast out of the camp and must survive in the “quest area” for 24 hours without a tent, making a weatherproof shelter and making fire.
The camps are fully catered with high-quality, nutritious food provided by a full-time Chef.
The cost is a requested donation of £600 for the 5 days, or what you are able to afford.
