The Fall Rendezvous is open to teens who have been mentored in nature awareness. The Rendezvous is a unique opportunity for the teens to challenge themselves in a context of a community of elders, aunts and uncles that has formed around the Art of Mentoring Workshop. The teens will be spending the week camping outdoors. The Rendezvous includes both a Young Men’s and a Young Women’s program with a staff of men and women guiding their experiences respectively.
Teens new to the Rendezvous Program will need to be reviewed prior to being accepted into the program. If you are a new teen to the program, please fill out the registration forms and send in a deposit to reserve a spot. After we review your forms, we will be in touch with you. If for some reason, it does not work out for you to attend this year, your deposit will be fully refunded.
