Each mentoring group participates in a day outing each semester and an annual weekend camping trip. Additionally, we offer a special week-long backpacking adventure for eighth-grade graduates called the Teen Sojourn (see Teen Rites of Passage).
These outings focus on nature awareness, personal discovery, and team-building exercises. Students learn basic wilderness skills and are introduced to adventure sports such as kayaking, canoeing, river rafting, rock climbing, mountain biking, fire making, shelter building, and archery.
At Boys To Men, we encourage less screen time for boys and more people and nature connection time.
