Youth Quest

July 22nd - 30th, 2017

with Scott Davidson and Regina Williams
**Free Youth Council and Intro Night on April 13th from 7-8pm**

Becoming an adult in this day and age can be a confusing process. Each day young people are showered with many messages and options for how to live their lives. How are they to know what is right for them? Which path to take? It's an exciting, sometimes scary and powerful time for both youth and parents.

 

The Youth Quest is for youth ages 16-22 who want to:
 -Build Self-Confidence
 -Understand Themselves More Deeply
 -Know What is Truly Important to Them
 -Seek Vision and Direction for Their Lives
 -Mark Their Passage into Adulthood

 

This adventure into the desert mountains includes both group and alone time in the wilderness and helps youth develop essential inner resources. It's a time for reflection, inward journeying, creativity and relating to nature. By encountering themselves and their own particular gifts and struggles, each person also discovers their personal strengths and wisdom for dealing with the challenges that lie ahead. In the process, they are deeply seen and appreciated by their peers, guides and parents. Upon returning to their family and community, they often find that they are experiencing themselves and their world in a whole new way.

 

Youth Quest is coming this summer, July 22nd - 30th, 2017!

 

**Free Youth Council and Intro Night on April 13th, 7-8pm**

Are you curious? The wilderness solo experience is an age-old rite of passage. And it's a lot to say Yes to out of the blue! This council and intro session is an opportunity for you to meet the guides, Regina and Scott, and other curious youth and allies who are considering this epic step with life. These free sessions are via video conference calls to include all who are interested.

<<Register for the free call here>>

**Please Fwd to 3 youth that come to mind.

Many young people feel ready to go deep and discover what's real for them, but don't quite know what step to take. Who comes to mind? It may be for a reason. We trust you to know who to share this with. As a thanks for listening, we'll give your youth a 10% discount for each referral that registers or a free 60-minute nature connection mentoring call. 

**If you personally feel curious or called,
step a little closer, be in touch.

 

Parents and family members are encouraged to participate in pre- and post-trip activities to witness and support this rite of passage for their youth.
