Overheard...

“My parents wept, my brothers chuckled as I was swept away,
I remember my joys, my sorrows, my griefs, to this very day.
I remember the excitement, joy and unknown,
as if my departure was nothing I’d known.
That was soon forgotten as I walked down the path,
through an experience that would forever last.
As I think of it now it was a powerful thing,
My childhood was done – I could hear the fat lady sing.
Though it’s now over it’s never quite dead,
the good and the bad still live in my head.” – Excerpt from My Journey by Megan Thompson, 2002

Youth Ages 12 - 14

Since the beginning of time, kids your age have left home in search of treasure or adventure, or to provide safety for their people. Sometimes it’s hard to follow the call, hard to leave behind your friends, your family, the comfort of home…

Can you hear the call, the Call to Adventure?  It’s calling you forward…

Since the beginning of time, kids your age have left home in search of treasure or adventure, or to provide safety for their people.  Sometimes it’s hard to follow the call, hard to leave behind your friends, your family, the comfort of home…

There are plenty of challenges, that’s for sure.  At least once along the way, you’ll be cold, you’ll be tired, you’ll miss home. 

If you know the story of Harry Potter, and his friends Ron & Hermione, you know about the Call to Adventure.  And you also know all of the reasons they wanted to say “no” when they heard the call.   

You’ll learn so many new skills—how to cook for yourself, how to backpack, how to work together as a team…these are just a few.

You’ll get to see exactly what you can accomplish, and look back, and say, “I did that.” 

You’ll learn more about yourself, what it means to be growing up, to be becoming a young man or a young woman, and about who you want to be in the world.
