Groups are limited to a maximum of 8 participants with a minimum of two experienced leaders per group. This small group size allows for a more personalized experience and for the leaders to pour more time into each individual participant.
All equipment and food will be provided for each participant. The only things each young person will need to bring is their own clothing, personal hygiene supplies, and a willingness to push themselves beyond their perceived boundaries.
